Sunny day starts in London and excitement for the day of music and friends ahead of us fills the apartment. Not sure if this should come at the end, but Cheers! to Hard Rock for the organisation of 2013 Calling - despite the endless queues to get beer.
We met in St Pancras - definitely worth getting the quick train from St Pancras to Stratford International - and we set off to enjoy a full day of music under the sun.
We managed to get to the main stage just after the first tunes of Kodaline, amazing Irish band worth to check out, and wishing to see them again soon, although all gigs seem to be sold out! After that first gig, we got a spot on the (fake) grass and set up our picnic - you could actually bring food inside, no drinks allowed but the queues for beer were not bad at the time, so it was easy to get drinks.
From Kodaline, to Twin Atlantic, eating away until Miles Kane came on stage and it was time to dance!

Everyone was up and moving to the groovy to the new and old songs from Mr. Kane, all suited up in white. Afterwards it was time for a change of scenery, and we moved to a different scenario to bounce a little to Klaxons' guitars and keyboards. We thought the queues for drinks on this side of the park would be better but they were even worse; so not drinking for a bit, and time to burn some calories instead.
Once Klaxons were over, we moved back to the main stage, and danced away to the last few songs of Paul Weller. I have to admit that I'm not a big fan but dancing to Town Called Malice was one of the highlights of the day.
We took a little break while the exciment of anticipation to Kasabian started to build up in the air. After seeing them in Oxegen, the O2 and Brixton Academy, we knew that we were about to enjoy yet another great gig but how far would they go this time? They started up with Days are Forgotten, followed by Shoot the Runner and then continued with the different tunes while the crowd was going crazier by the minute.
A Fred Astaire wannabe suddenly appeard out of nowhere after a few songs, showing us his moves to Fast Fuse and adding some entertainment to the evening. Nevertheless, other than when one of my friends almost melted when Sergio was singing solo (Take Aim), the highlight of the evening was the encore when the band gave it all and the crowd was close to explosion... Vlad the Impaler, Switchable Smiles and Fire have been the closing up for the latest tour and everyone just went WILD.
Who made you (guys) the master(s)? and, as you mentioned in your Facebook page,
