/ Sziget Festival - Day 3 / Jake Bugg, Imagine Dragons, Tom Odell, Miles Kane, Clean Bandit, Skrillex, fashion models, funny people dancing under the influence & asking weird questions


The next day (13th August) we woke up, got some breakfast and coffee and then sunbhated for a bit next to our tent. Later, we made a plan for the day: first we will go to the main stage and watch Jake Bugg and Imagine Dragons, than we'll go to the A38 stage to watch Tom Odell, Miles Kane and Clean Bandit (and than maybe Skrillex on the main stage).

Although I don't really listen to Jake Bugg, his live performance was amazing!

During his performance we (my sister and I) and a girl next to us in the first row, spotted four guys wearing hats and sunglasses watching Jake from the side of the stage and we immediately thought - it's them, Imagine Dragons! So we waved at them and they waved back - they made us really happy.  

Later Imagine Dragons played their set and their performance blew me away! (Almost literally because of the drums they were slamming. Haha.) It was incredible! And I made some awkward eye contact with their bassist a few times >.<
They also payed a cover of the Song 2 by Blur. Here is a video I found: Imagine Dragons - Song 2, Blur cover.

After their set we wanted to walk to the A38 stage (which was behind the main stage) as quickly as possible but the crowd was so big and our legs hurt so we dicided to just go with the flow of the crowd (is that even the right expresion? haha). As we were slowly walking towards the road my sister suddenly said: "This is her! She's here!" And I just looked at her like what is going on, who, what? Then, I saw who she meant because she was standing right in front of us - Barbara Palvin, Hungarian fashion model and actress (she is starring in the new movie Hercules). She saw that people were taking photos of her so she posed for me, which was very nice of her.

We managed to come to the A38 stage just in time, right before Tom Odell started. The tent was crowded and really hot, so a lot of people were fanning themselves with random things - luckly I had my fan with me.

Even though they were dripping with sweat, Tom and his band smashed it! (A few times during their performance I thought that he is going to literally destroy the piano. I mean it looked like it. Haha.) He played a new song (which he had recently written) for us - Here is a video of his performance but not from Sziget (as I didn't find one): Tom Odell - Only A Fool Would Love.

There was a 30 min pause - we went out of the tent and sat on the grass next to it where people were watching live stream of performances at the A38 stage. We stayed there and watched Miles Kane from the big screen because we were too tired and there was really too warm in the tent so I went in just for the last four or three songs.

After we cooled ourselves on the fresh air, we went to watch Clean Bandit who were there instead of London Grammar who cancelled their show due to "vocal fatigue" - I was a bit sad about it because I really wanted to see them live but Cleand Bandit were great so it's all good. 
During their performance and then later on when we stood in the crowd at the main stage when Skrillex was playing his set - we watched other people dance and it was so amusing. I actually started cry-laughing because of two guys in front of us who were, I suppose under the influence. It was incredibly funny. (And btw Skrillex is freaking amazing live).

Later we met with our friends and ate (a really late) dinner in their tent. So we were eating and talking about our day when suddenly a guy squatted in front of us (the tent was open) and asked us from which country are we and that he's from Poland and then another guy crouched beside him and there were both looking at us, when the first one said: "Can we take drugs in your tent?" ...Wait what?? Excuse me? We literally couldn't believe what the guy just asked us and we just went: "NO, you can't wtf!?" Then we laughed about it for the rest of the night and decided that this was the sentence of the week or even month.
