We missed Dau by a split hesitation whether to take it or not. He knew he read it in the driving directions and location map in the Survival Guide but asked the sleepless lady on the passenger seat to verify with a nod, but received head-shaking instead and a know-it-all answer that SCTEX will somehow lead to Clark. Of course, she is wrong since there were no rice fields and a small bridge. We took the next one, Mabalacat, and finally found our way to Global Logistics City in Clark Pampanga without any hitches.
Arrived 430ish at the venue just in time to catch a little bit of Up Dharma Down, who closed their set with Tadhana. Found a sweet spot with the rest of his crew and pitched our humble camp. The cool weather was just perfect, like everything about this music fest was aligned with the stars, a light breeze and the sun setting slowly.
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus opened with Face Down and I wanted to run away to the middle of the moving crowd and just get lost –“get pushed around, fall to the ground.” “Well, I tell you my friend one day this world is gonna end…” I squeezed in and jumped in between mats like a little mousy to make my way to the front-mid part but the big man trailed behind and before we could make our way to the crowd, the song ended. Retreated back to camp.
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Kendrick Lamar and Empire of the Sun got the massive crowd’s energy going all the way until the stage was set for Red Hot Chili Peppers. RHCP unlocked their set list with Can’t Stop.
“The world I love
The tears I drop
To be part of
The wave can’t stop
Ever wonder if it’s all for you
The world I love
The trains I hop
To be part of
The wave can’t stop
Come and tell me when it’s time to”
