MTV Crashes Plymouth Day 2 2017

28th July 2017 was the second nigh of MTV Crashes Plymouth. It was wet and windy but it seemed that didn't matter, the crowd were jumping and I had a great time. Alcohol may have had a little to do with that, and I just danced and enjoyed myself.
My photos didn't come out as great as I had planned, but I was more focused on having a good time. Plus I couldn't have my camera out in the rain too much for fear of damaging it. Hey who am I kidding, the alcohol majorly hindered my photography skills, I have so many blurry photos from the night.



I arrived at the event fairly late, around 7pm because I still had to work in the daytime. The acts started at 5pm, so we did miss Jax Jones and Gordon City. When we arrived R3WIRE & VARSKI were playing, but we didn't get a chance to see much of them. We said hi to some friends and grabbed some drinks. The bars were easier to get to this year. Most drinks were £4.50 for a small bottle.
We saw some of Wilkinson play, he ended his set with "afterglow" and that was awesome. I found a phone in the portaloos, but I have managed to return it to the rightful owner.

Then it was time for the act everyone was waiting for, Martin Garrix. For this set the rain started to clear up. He played his fun tunes including "Animals", "Tremor" and "Scared To Be Lonely". The finale had fireworks and streamers! Amazing. I was able to grab some and it's going into my scrapbook along with my entrance ticket.

My night didn't end just yet, me and some friends carried on the night at a club, but Martin Garrix really blew me away and he was the best part of the evening.

I have been to MTV Crashes a few times now, but never on the second night. After my experiences form day 2 2017 I would definitely go again. For the first year 2014 day one,  I was right at the front of the crowd and you can see me in some of the promotional pictures. But staying there from 3pm-11pm was tough.  It was fun to see Kaiser Chiefs and The 1975, but at the club night with Martin Garrix I had a better more chilled experience. You can see my video from the first year here. I did take some videos this year, but the clips have not come out too great due to the drink and rain.

Thanks for reading.
Let me know what you thought about the night, were you there? Are you going next year?
