Music Midtown 2014. Recap.


Sometimes, I forget how legitimately amazing my life is. Then I have a weekend like this past one, and I genuinely cannot help but sit back and reflect. Y'all get to reflect with me. So here we go.

Day One
After a truly obnoxious experience with traffic and hotels, I finallyyyy made it to Music Midtown. It genuinely felt like it took 17 hours. I missed Banks and Iggy Azalea (like, I can't even talk about it y'all...) but got there at the perfect time to get a pretty darn great spot for Lorde. Word to the wise: unless you are at the very front, go further back. You can actually see the stage instead of a bunch of people's sweaty heads. 


So let's talk Lorde. This tiny girl is unreal. I don't know why but I didn't think she could sound better live than she does in her recordings. I was wrong. Her dancing was just as flawless as one would imagine and she killed two different sets of wide-leg trousers. #KillingIt. Also, I think she enjoyed herself...


The headliner that I was most looking forward to was Jack White. And I was  n o t  disappointed. Though I've never been to Glastonbury, I think it would feel similar to this. You can't see it in this picture but there were lots of flags and LOTS of guitars. It made me forget I was in Georgia. And Jack White is an unbelievable performer.

I stole this picture from my friend on facebook. Thanks!
I left Jack White in time to see a few of John Mayer's songs. I don't know how this happened but I literally walked up as "Slow Dancing In A Burning Room" was beginning. My hands down favorite song of John's. I was in heaven. And then this happened...
It was literally the best experience. (Not to mention, made it back to Jack in time for Seven Nation Armies. UNREAL.) And as we were leaving, we walked to Gravity. #PerfectMoment
Day Two
After a lazy morning and a very greasy breakfast at my favorite Midtown diner, we made it to the park for Third Eye Blind. However, we decided to go exploring. Literally, SOOO happy we left. We caught the majority of the Twenty One Pilots set and it was by far the surprise of my weekend. THEY WERE SO FREAKING GOOD I CANNOT EVEN TELL YOU. (I have a video I will be posting at some point and y'all are going to die.) I'm officially a HUGE fan. 


They're also a little bit crazy. See below-
Casual. Not.

 Then we have Atlanta's own, B.O.B. who was extremely entertaining in a funny way. You can't exactly tell but in the picture below, he had five girls from the crowd on stage twerking. It was definitely an experience.


After B.O.B, we saw Lana Del Ray but I got zero good pictures and was unimpressed with her performance. So moving on...

 Bastille. I love you. This set was magical. They are as entertaining as they are talented. They also like to speak in precious British accents in between songs. #yummy. A video of them killing "No Scrubs" will be coming shortly. Seriously, I died.

Also, their lighting engineers are legends. I was mesmerized. 


And last but certainly NOT least, we have Eminem. Let me just say, I don't think I would be very likely to buy a ticket to see him in concert but given that I was already there, and he was already there, I wasn't going to miss this opportunity. OH. MY. GOD. Y'ALL. His set was unreal.


And, like, a couple of people showed up.


All in all, my first Music Midtown experience was a massive, massive success. I am counting down the days until Music Midtown 2015.
Were you at Music Midtown? Who was your favorite performance??
