The 572 Rock and Roll Paradise Exposition Park is located in Los Angeles County, which served as the venue for agricultural exhibitions from 1872 to l910, which is also one of the liveliest areas in the entire city of Los Angeles, and the main campus of the University of Southern California is located on the south side of the park, covering an area of 160 acres, including Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, Los Angeles County Natural History Museum, California Center for Liberal Arts, Rose Garden, California African American Museum, Exposition Center, Liberal Studies Center School, The South Lawn Natural History Museum, the Farmers' Market, and so on, can definitely be called a place that integrates humanities, learning, and nature.

Exposition Park is less than 14 miles from Sunset Square and a 20-minute drive away.

Sally Hansen arrived at the fair park early, and looked excitedly at the rolling crowd in front of her, who seemed to have fallen into a frenzy, with oil paint on their faces, flags in their hands, and bags on their shoulders, talking and laughing, and bouncing in the direction of the main venue of the festival.

Sally was a little excited and wanted to take a step, but a gentle woman standing beside her grabbed her shoulder and asked worriedly, "Sally, are you sure you want to participate?"

This woman looks to be in her early thirties, with long chestnut hair like a waterfall draped casually behind her, her face is full of kindness and tenderness, she is holding two tickets for the Junjie Music Festival in her free right hand, you know, this time the tickets for the Junjie Music Festival are only 20,000, in order to grab a ticket, there are even fans who set up tents and waited at the ticket office forty-eight hours in advance, and now she has two in her hands, which shows how hard-won it is, but they are standing at the door at this time, But I'm not sure if I'm going to go in, and when I hear it from other fans, it is estimated that the price of these two tickets will be inflated soon, even if it is sold ten times the price, there is no problem.

"Mom, haven't we already discussed this? Yes, I would like to participate. Sally looked up at her mother, she saw worry in her mother's eyes, although there was a smile on her mother's lips, "Mom, don't worry, this is just a music festival, there will be no problem." ”

Sally knows that in the eyes of her parents, although rock and roll is not a demon, but rock music festivals are indeed easy to be directly linked to chaos, "Mom, this is my dream, I really want to participate, you know, I always dream of being able to go to different places to see different scenery, glory to death gave me enough motivation to dream, I finally made up my mind to achieve it, although I am still young but I think, participating in the Junjie Music Festival will be a great start." ”

Sally is the little girl Hugo met on the first day of the release of "Almost Famous" on amoeba records, she is only thirteen years old this year, so her mother is not worried about her daughter coming to the festival, so she can only accompany her to the festival herself. These two tickets, Dry Sally's Q set Flower Pedicle took two days to line up the army to arrive.

Sally's mother, Jessica Hansen. Hanson), looked down and touched her daughter's beautiful long chestnut hair, Sally's long silky hair inherited her strengths, always shining in the sun, which was enviable. "Okay, this is the reward you have earned for your hard work, and I will accompany you to be young again."

Sally remembered that she had spent the past three weeks doing odd jobs for her neighbors in order to attend the festival, and finally earned enough money for admission and travel expenses, she couldn't help but smile on her face, "Hugo is right, this feeling of working hard for his dreams and finally realizing them is really good." The results weren't as good as they could have been, but the process was just as good. ”

Jessica shook the ticket in her hand, then patted her daughter on the shoulder, "Let's go, you don't want to miss today's opening." ”

Walking into the Exposition Park, Sally felt like she had entered a magical country. On the lawn outside the venue, tents are like mushrooms emerging after rain, covering every corner of the sight, and all kinds of people standing outside the tents are talking excitedly, and some people even take out their instruments and start playing.

Sally looked at these people as if they were not here for a concert at all, but as if they were coming for camping, and when she asked curiously about a tattooed girl with fiery red curly hair, the girl with a full personality laughed heartily, "This is your first time attending a music festival, right?" We had no intention of leaving at all, you know, every show would last two days, and we were going to camp here. I'll tell you a secret, when all the performances are over and night falls, it's the time of the real festival. ”

Mother and daughter Sally and Jessica are amazed, this is obviously a whole new world for them. Of course, more people set up their tents, took a spot, and then walked in the direction of the main venue. Therefore, Jessica and Sally, who came empty-handed, naturally took a step forward with the crowd.

When I came to the door of the ticket inspection, I could see many young faces running around with a sad face, and there was no need to ask, someone walked up directly, "Do you have any extra tickets?" Five hundred dollars, I'm willing to buy it for five hundred dollars. These were apparently fans who had been blocked because they didn't have tickets, and both Jessica and Sally were amazed by the clear and vivid regret and frustration on their faces.

Jessica shook her head in the negative, and the visitor immediately turned away, and walked towards the others urgently. Jessica and Sally glanced at each other, and they realized at this moment how precious the tickets in their hands were, because at least twenty young people were in sight at the door at the moment asking for tickets.

When I walked to the door and waited in line for the ticket check, there were immediately more young people holding signs next to me, and their sights were crowded with signs such as "Asking for a Ticket", "Glory to Death Fans Asking ......for Tickets", and "Nirvana Fans Asking for Tickets", which made the originally empty space suddenly narrow.

My ears were filled with all kinds of discussions, such as "What song is the Tool going to perform this time...... "Is the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the main stage this time?", "I've heard that a few British bands are called goatskin ......", "Radiohead seems to be ......on the list", "How did I hear that Nirvana won't be there, please tell me it's not true......", "There's a group called 'Alice Prisoners" (a1i. s), the band, from Seattle, is also garbage style I don't know how the strength is......

The flood of comments made Jessica feel a little uncomfortable, not only because of the fact that such a passionate scene made her a little timid, but also because all she heard were unfamiliar names, and the world of rock and roll seemed a little distant to her, which made her nervous. But unexpectedly, although these rock fans were enthusiastic, the order was not chaotic, and the whole scene seemed orderly, which also reassured Jessica a little.

Originally, Jessica thought that she had fully seen the enthusiasm of the fans outside, but after checking in, she realized that it was just the beginning.

There is no problem with the venue in front of you to accommodate 30,000 or 40,000 people, at a glance it is larger than two football fields, there is a huge stage at the end of the field, it feels at least fifty yards wide at a rough look, the lighting and sound equipment around the stage are installed, because all the fans are standing in front of the stage, not like the concert stands, condescendingly making the stage look small. It turns out that this is what it feels like to be live in the music industry.

At this time, there was a dense crowd standing in front of the stage, everyone's face was filled with clear excitement, igniting the temperature of the air, even if there was no screaming and no shouting, even if there was no performance and no band, but the enthusiasm that was gradually brewing on the scene still filled the entire lawn with an atmosphere that made people's hearts beat faster.

In addition to the stage in front of you, there is also a stage on the right hand side near the entrance, and this stage is obviously one size smaller, so you can tell that the one in front of you is the main stage, and this is the stage of the J. There is at least a gap of more than 400 yards between the two stages, which also makes it impossible for the two stages to perform at the same time, but you can see each other's performances, and the location arrangement is very special. The length of the stage is about twenty-five yards, which looks like a miniature version of the main stage, and a large crowd has gathered in front of the stage at this time, and the bustle is not inferior to the front.

The faces of all the fans are filled with the joy of the festival, for them, this is their annual Christmas, even more grand and grand than Christmas, this is a paradise for rock lovers, all people with the same hobbies come together and casually say things about rock and roll, it is really easy to find like-minded partners, even if they like different bands with each other, and the arguments are full of passion. At this moment, even the air is filled with exhilarating rock notes.

Jessica also didn't quite know the difference between the main stage and the side stage, and all rock singers were unfamiliar name symbols to her anyway, so she looked down at her daughter's expression, "So, which direction should we go?"

Sally had also entered a completely new world at this time, and she didn't know much more than her mother, but she still had some information before she came, so she looked around, "Mom, let's go to the side stage to get the performance schedule first, and then go to the main stage to have a look." Once we have the schedule, we can know exactly which bands will be on stage today, and then we can decide what performances to see. ”

The touring mode of the festival is good news for music fans, who only have two stages on site, unlike other large music festivals that have at least four or more stages, and running between each stage is a happy ordeal for music fans, and if their favorite band appears on several stages at the same time, it is a pain of happiness.

Although Sally came here for glory to death, in addition to glory to death, she is also willing to listen to other rock bands, and it is a real waste to be in rock paradise and not enjoy it...... ）
