Mumford & Sons, Gentlemen of the Road.
On Saturday we hit up the Gentlemen of the Road, Summer Stampede Concert at the Queen Elizabeth park – Mumford & Sons, Vampire Weekend, Ben Howard, Bears Den, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and HAIM. i know, can you even handle? The whole Olympic Park was created to resemble an old school fair ground with different rides, tombola stalls, food stands, photo booths etc. I loved all the signage – esp these “cheer people” (below) who had signs along the way telling us how many more steps (from the train station) until we reached the concert gates –
We had an awesome chilled out afternoon listening to Ben Howard, Edward Sharpe, Bears Den, HAIMin the sunshine –
Side Note: Definitely invest in a husband the next time you go to a festival or concert – they have very handy shoulders for when you need to get a better view. Also, if you let them “accidentally” spill their drink all over you, then you will have extra shoulder time as retribution.
you have an awesome t-shirt!
