Bit late to the party, but here we go: Another almost three weeks in the US — taking some time off with my better half Verena Oswald to travel across Louisiana/Texas (New Orleans, Houston, San Antonio, Austin & Dallas) and finishing the trip with New York City once again.
In between all of that: working Lost Evenings IX (Lost Evenings Festival) — my fifth time in a row by now. And as usual, it was an absolute blast.
Although it’s always insanely busy, intense and exhausting, getting together once a year with this incredible and very special bunch of people is one of those things that makes me stop for a second, pinch myself, and realize just how lucky I am sometimes. My job is mostly crazy, stressful and exhausting — but moments like these remind me that it also has a truly beautiful side and I’ll forever be grateful for that.
Thank you, Frank Turner and Xtra Mile Recordings for trusting me and my work for so many years now. Thank you to the entire crew for the endless effort, dedication and countless hours that go into making this whole thing happen. Thank you to all the fans for the swag, for always showing up and making this festival as unique as it is every single year.
That being said, next year will be the last one. I’m still a little bit in denial because, honestly, I really don’t want it to end. But for now, let’s not think about the ending just yet. Let’s look forward to going out with a bang and finishing this incredible journey big and in style next year in London @ OVO Arena Wembley - can’t wait to see you all there.
In the meantime: stay kind, my friends.
