DZ Deathrays Positive Rising: Part 1 European Tour - Sept/Oct 2019

Day 12

Today we got up early and started our 8 hour drive to Le Harve for Foul Weather festival. The journey took us through some truly beautiful Swiss and French countryside before getting back on the boring old highway to Paris. 

We drove on to Le Harve and arrived just before Together Pangea were playing. 

The venue was really interesting. It was in some sort of old walled area with lots of community things going on in it. The people running the festival were lovely and showed us to our accomodation which was a shipping container that was painted black and had been unopened so it was very hot and damp inside. The ceiling was particularly mouldy so I opted for a bottom bunk.

We had some really good baguettes, from a bag, a bag of baguettes. 

Boundy and I unloaded the van and started setting up side stage for the show. Jacuzzi Boys were playing and were quite good. We did the change over in a miracle amount of time, with the patch only being mildly wrong. 

DZ started playing and after about 20 seconds all the power in the whole building cut out but the lighting lady and I flicked the breakers back on and the show went off really well. It was a fun concert and we loaded out quickly before going back to the shipping container for sleep.
