It�s a little bit weird to think about how many people that have seen and heard us play this summer. If you added them all up, you�d get an exiting number. I started contemplating this on Saturday before I fell asleep, with the fantastic Lost Weekend audience fresh in my mind. I�ll have to think more about it later this fall, when I start to long back.

I like to play at festivals a lot because it gives me the opportunity to reach people that normally don�t listen to my music. When I visit a festival myself, I walk around hoping that I might come across a cool or surprising act that may trigger my interest and bring me something new. In between gigs with bands that I�ve paid to see, there is a possibility that I might just discover my new favourite band.�
As an example my first Big Bang concert was a coincidence. I was sixteen and at the Quart-festival for the first time when I stumbled across the sports ground and was blown away by the power and energy from the stage. I will never forget it.

People visiting festivals are open-minded people. Therefore they are among the most exiting, but at the same time most challenging people to play to. There are so many�other factors that counts� - the chance of missing something else, the possibility that you might get stuck in the queue to the toilet or the food-queue, that you might have brought too much or too little clothes with you � not to mention that your legs are already hurting and your ears too, that I am forever grateful for those who stays from beginning to end. The blessing it is to have a large festival audience, it�s really a clear sign of confidence. That�s why I will always play my absolute best and give everything that I�ve got back to them.

And that is why I will also use this opportunity to thank all you enthusiastic people that have made it so great to be me this summer. Thanks for singing, thanks for listening, and thank you for letting my music come alive. It�s the biggest gift that I can wish for.
