I had intended on calling this "A very Basement summer" as I was meant to see them four times in a little over a month, but Reading Festival never happened, and it went down to three in a little over a week. My summer ended up being a little less dedicated to the Ipswich natives as I wanted it to be, but the portion that was was still very much enjoyable. (And full of stupid little stories)
In 2015, while I was at T in the Park, a smaller festival was taking place near Cheltenham, in south west England : 2000 Trees. I adored every single minute of T, but there was still a part of me that would have loved to be surrounded by all these trees. My friends all were there and kept praising the event, and the likes of Deaf Havana, We Are The Ocean, Bury Tomorrow and The Xcerts were playing.
