RAKRAKAN FESTIVAL 2017: OPM AGAINST DRUGS | 14 January 2017
Awesome is an understatement. You have to look for a word more solid than rock to define this once in a lifetime event.
This year's Rakrakan Festival featured 100 bands in 5 stages- namely Indie, Move, Groove, Mosh, and Slam stage. It sounded a little impossible but you had to see it to believe it. If you prefer one kind of music, you would have been very pleased staying in the stage of your choice; but if you are a listener of a variety of music, this event would have not been very easy for you only because you wouldn't be able to stand being in one place. You'd wish you'd multiply and scatter in the venue. All the bands were too great it would tear you apart not to hear all of them, and it would literally tear you trying to listen to two stages at once but perhaps that's the best part of it. You know you rocked so hard when you went home exhausted but ecstatic.
The festival did not only bring music to us. It also jammed art and skate in one place until our hearts bled of euphoria. Not to mention the long line for the merch.
Rakrakan is not for the faint-hearted. It is for the tough men and women of all generations. It is for the children of rock n' roll. To be one with those who enjoy it, you have to live in the moment as well.
