You know what’s easier than following around your fave pop stars, day in, day out, to see what they’re up to right that minute? Asking them. This month, LIZZIE ESAU lets us in on what she’s up to as she plays the Dork stage at this year’s 110 Above presents OTHR festival.
9:00AM → Wake up nice and early (I appreciate this isn’t that early, but it is for me, the queen of lying in). We get into the car and head straight to the festival, which is a good couple of hours from Newcastle!
11:00AM → Briefly stopping at services is always a highlight of these trips for me, treating myself to a sushi meal deal (posh, I know). We take a few different vehicles to this festival, so meeting up with other band members along the journey is always fun too!
1:00PM → By this time, the meal deal is fully devoured, and after resisting the urge to stop for a quick Greggs, we arrive at the festival! We had the honour of playing this festival last year, too, and it was possibly one of the hottest days I’ve ever experienced. This year isn’t too far off, although a few degrees cooler, which is very much appreciated, haha! The atmosphere, though, is incredible as always, the staff lovely and welcoming, and the audience raring to go.
3:00PM → A few hours of unloading gear, drinking beer and chatting with other artists and lovely crew have gone by, and now we’re warming up and preparing to go on.
4:50PM → We walk onto the Gopsall Inn stage, which is a nice big open barn. Already slightly sweating from being out and about around the festival, we make sure to give the set full energy as usual, feeding off the incredible crowd. They’re all so up for it, and it’s so amazing to be back; so nice to see familiar faces too.
