{RADIO ONE HACKNEY WEEKEND}

Last weekend, I went to Radio One's Hackney Weekend and it was amazing, getting to see Rihanna live for free, who would not love that?! Originally there was a possibility I wouldn't be going as  because of the silly ticket system my sister and myself ended up with one ticket for Saturday and one for Sunday, aka Larrys. Luckily my sister managed to find a friend to go with and one of my sister's lovely friends took me under her wing and I went along and hung out with her and some friends. I'm so glad I made the decision to go in the end, because it was incredible and so worth it. Firstly we saw a little bit of Westwood's DJ set, literally some of the things he comes out with are just hilarious. Then we headed for food and took shelter from the pouring rain whilst we had a delish cheeseburger, and checked out who we wanted to see next.We ended up seeing Professor Green - hot, Ben Howard who was beautiful as ever, Azealia Banks and her song 212 which was so good and a bit of Labrinth and Jessie J. 

We grabbed some noodles for dinner and sat and listened to Florence + the Machine and prepared ourselves for the final headliners, hoping to get a good spot in the crowd for the rest of the night. When we found out Dizzee Rascal was the special guest we hastily made our way into the crowd hoping to get a good spot, excited for him to begin. As expected he was on top form and played all the classics which was so good and got us so hyped for Rihanna.

After waiting patiently for nearly an hour, watching the stage crew set up an amazing egyptian stage, Rihanna finally came on and it was just amazing from there on out. We literally sang and danced along the whole way through and she put on such a show, and even Jay-Z came on stage for four songs which was insane. The best song had to be Umbrella because the atmosphere was just incredible. Only in England would most people in the crowd have an umbrella to hand, and up they went and the whole crowd the covered in dancing umbrella, the atmosphere and vibe literally couldn't have been any better. Such a good end to an brill day and I'm so glad I decided to go in the end as otherwise I would have missed out big time!
