FortaRock 2014 THE Netherlands

I can finally say that I've been to a real concert!
Okay, so FortaRock might isn't really my kind of thing but I've been dragged to go -along with my friends- to it, the bands playing were all metal bands and well.. People I don't know or enjoy their music, except for skillet, I love them!!!

I went there, dressed all black kinda gothic? Meh.. I think I dressed up just normal =D but the dark shade of the lipstick did give its effect to the whole thing.

31st of May 2014, in Nijmegen ... The FortaRock Iron maiden concert took its place. 
12 hours of music. 
12 afternoon till 12 midnight
  ... and there we were.

The bands that played on that day were:
- Iron maiden
- Slayer
- Anthrax
- Dimmu Borgir
- Alter Bridge
- Graveyard
- Gojira
- Deafheaven
- Sabaton
- Behemoth
- Trivium
- Ghost
- Carcass
- Vandenberg's moonkings
- Skillet
- Blood ceremony
- The charm the fury




Right.. And again, I only knew skillet :')

It was in a park, there were 3 stages as you can see in the picture; The main stage, Monster energy stage and Jagermeister stage (in a tent!) 



 And it was crowded, there were those with costume which actually looked nice on some, really funny on others.
I was the only girl with Hijab on.. literally. Minority of the people stared at me which made me feel weird somehow, but soon the majority greeted me. Some people asked to take picture with me Felt like a celebrity.. yay me!
Every now and then people greeted me.. they were really nice. I had several conversations with most who warmly welcomed me and said that it's good to have me here. wow. I liked the fact that it wasn't so racist, but filled with smiles and greetings, made me feel happy.

The memories of that day makes me giggle, it was so much fun.

Here's a video of Skillet's entrance, and the first song *goosebumps*


note: the video isn't taken by me, the one i took from my phone isn't really long or so clear!! 

well, as I mentioned I knew no band but I ended up singing almost everything coz no one cares when you're in the crowd, everyone are singing their own version!!

I loved the Iron maiden performance, it was more like a play! Everytime new background new clothes new statue!! 
People were crazy - no mosh pit whoa thank god coz it scared me* their music wasn't scary like the other bands ahahaha and by scary I mean those who scream, yup I don't like these kinds of songs!
I sang my lungs out, it was amazing!! 


One of the best days ever!!
