"And They Say London Is Dead..."

After going to Wireless Festival last year and hearing the likes of Jay Z, Wale, Lily Allen, Chase & Status and Roll Deep live, seeing Tinie Tempah, Mr Hudson, Dru Hill and BlackStreet in their respective concerts, I made a vow at the start of this year to go to more concerts, festivals and live music events...

This year started off on a real vybe...J.Cole and Usher were seen in January and February and I thought I was on a roll...then it slowed down...

Enter: 'Festival Season'

This year there has been so many things happening in and around London, it's hard to keep up to speed...

A couple weeks ago I went to this years Wireless Festival in Hyde Park...

The line up included:
Tinie Tempah
Bruno Mars
Example
Plan B
Far East Movement
David Guetta
Yasmin
Jodie Connor...
headlining were the Black Eyed Peas

Here are some snaps from the day...

As i'm sure you know I've recently become obsessed with making videos... *queue playback*

The other day myself and my partner in crime went to the Orange RockCorps concert as a reward for volunteering with them for 4 hours one random Sunday afternoon in May...

This was a real vybe, 11,000 people (mostly teens - probably at their first ever concert) packed into Wembley Arena to hear:
Eliza Doolittle
Professor Green
Primal Scream - we'd never heard of them so that was a real 'toilet break' moment
Wretch 32
Kelis
AND
Diddy Dirty Money! With special guests Chipmunk and Skepta

I dunno if you can detect the excitement here but please believe it was a fantastic evening...and it was free!

Here's some footage from the evening...
