Mosh Pits, Menopause and Middle Age
So months before the Download Festival first wave of bands playing came out, I had this slightly bonkers idea to book tickets anyway, just because, well why the f*ck not. So I did. Paying in instalments to keep the costs a bit easier to manage.
Now, the last time I did any sort of festival was when I went to Reading Festival in 2011, before kids, at the age of 38. Yep, you do the maths. 2027 is 16 years after 2011 so I will be as close as dammit to 54.
Am I scared? Damn right. Am I excited? Hell yeah. I have been listening to the bands on Spotify and have made a paper and pen list of yes's, maybe's and fuck no's. My daughter asked me why didn't I just use the Notes app on my phone - spoiler - I didn't know I had one. Plus I am better with pen and paper for making lists.
I am even growing my mad curly hair longer so that at least I can then put it into a ponytail if it gets too wild and frizzy (it's bound to rain in June right?)
Bring it on!
