So this is the final part of the review I started last week (you can find the two previous parts just scrolling down).
Day 3: August 26th.
Sunday was the last day of the festival, and according to what I saw one of the most awaited, when the doors opened hundreds of Green Day fans gathered to get a place for the concert, but you'll have to wait to know how it was since before Green Day lots of things happened. I have to say that I was on fangirl mode too, wearing the t-shirt I bought in Wembley Arena after Frank Turner's concert even if he was not playing, since he had played with both Social Distorsion and Green Day (also I saw one guy with a Frank Turner t-shirt too! So if you happen to read this... why did you pass in front of me and didn't even see it?). So let's start with the festival, first, on main stage I saw Bombay Bicycle Club, I was really keen on seeing them because I've always liked to listen to their music, I've never been a fan but I knew they were good and they actually are. After them I decided to go see Kimbra, out of curiosity, but the place was crowded and I didn't actually like the music much so I went back to the principal stages. In there I sat down while I a group I didn't know where playing, the funny thing is that they weren't on the program so I didn't know what I was listening, though I really enjoyed it, they turned out to be Family of the Year, and they are really really good and really funny too! After that it came Passion Pit, which I liked but I don't really know to which extent, I think I had a music overdose by then. Back to the main stage the The Dandy Warhols set had already started, they are one of these bands that I've always thought that I should give a listen, but never had time and it turns out that I had already listened to some of their songs unknowingly, which made me realize that I need to trust the people who tell me that one band is good. Even if it looks like the end of the day it was only mid afternoon when I went to see the Avant Seine All Stars, this was a set with the best French bands that arose from the previous 9 years of Rock en Seine, the bad part was that the presenter would only speak in French and way too much, also I know French but to an extent, so I left and headed to see Grandaddy, again they were a really pleasant surprise (and I'm ashamed I didn't know so many of the bands that played in Rock en Seine) and I wish I could have listened to their set a bit longer. I set for dinner on the grass in front of the main stage while Social Distortion played, I've to admit that they were just what I needed at that point of the day, even if I was sitting down on the grass I couldn't stop moving and "dancing", these guys rock (though I guess that's no news). The second to last set of my day was Foster the People who reached worldwide stardom last year with their tune Pumped Up Kicks from their first album Torches, even if their set was only an hour long it was exhausting and crazy and the perfect warm up for what came afterwards. The final set was the one by Green Day, as with many others I never listened to their songs, but I've never had so much fun in a concert they are the ultimate showpeople, they interacted a lot with the crowd, I guess they are the ultimate rockstars.
So this is the end of it, I really wish I could go to this festival again next year and I encourage you to go too.
