"To Indio!"

Tens of thousands of netizens on the social network issued a call, and then spread it from one to the next. This has become the hottest annual topic on the social network. It is like a belief, a symbol and a journey, which makes young people's blood boil.

This is a real Carnival! This is not Woodstock in the new century and new era, this is the contemporary Pioneer Village.

Not only in North America, people from all corners of the world are flocking to California's Indio. The great upsurge is pouring in the same direction from all directions. It is clearly late autumn, but it is rendering a heat wave that is incomparable in midsummer, burning.

Not to mention Don Quixote, even Gavin hunt failed to suppress his own excitement and expectation.

As for the Pioneer Village Music Festival, the major media have sent people to the scene to report, but considering the desert environment of Indio, the weather and the scene are bound to be a severe test. Sending interns or young journalists to the front line to bear hardships is the routine operation of the media.

"American weekly" is no exception, they sent a team of five people to Indio two days in advance to report——

According to the past experience, we must be fully prepared for the activities of lanli, otherwise we may miss the key points; Facts have proved that even 48 hours in advance, they still can't catch up with don Quixotes' enthusiasm. Some people even went to camp on the edge of the town a week in advance and came to Indio to have a party early.

A week is not early and not alone.

It can be seen from the photos of friends on the Internet of photo wall that hundreds of don Quixotes arrived in the Indio desert early, and hundreds of young people came to the Indio desert early with the mood of "joining Woodstock". The party had already started long ago, talking, singing, dancing and reveling all night, It's like celebrating the end of the world, a last act of recklessness on the edge of an isolated desert.

The excitement can be felt only through the photos.

Waiting for Gavin hunt to arrive in Indio, it was the first day of the Pioneer Village Music Festival, but it had not yet begun.

Gavin didn't come to the festival as a reporter of American weekly, but as an individual to participate in the event. He always felt that if he missed it, he might regret it all his life. Even if he didn't buy tickets, he still impulsively came to Indio. When he slowly entered the small town, he began to hesitate - if there were no tickets, So how to enjoy the music festival? Is it futile to arrive at the scene?

But soon Gavin put the idea behind him for a while: the spectacle caught all the attention.

In the distance, two miles away from the town, you can see the saloon cars and van cars standing on the side of the road. In the middle of the road is a two-way lane, and on both sides is a vast parking lot. Countless vehicles are spread out endlessly, which makes people think of "the matrix", It's just a version of "Mad Max", showing mechanical magnificence in the desert.

After endless traffic, and then officially enter the camp.

Although the campsite is already near the RV and van, the tents in front of us are another magnificent scene.

The high and low tents stretch out along both sides of the Huangsha long road, just like a huge nomad camping in the desert. The dawn has just come down. The soft gold outlines a golden border for countless tents, and the early risers stretch to welcome the dawn.

On the right side, a group of young people around the extinguished campfire, beating the soup pot and wooden stool, singing heartily, "we will! We will! We'll rock you. "It's a classic piece of Queen's band, and the people who just got up around them subconsciously beat their palms together. It's really exciting.

A little further on, people in twos and threes are slowly moving forward, keeping the same direction as Gavin, and they are going to the performance venue. They are red faced and arguing constantly. When they get close, they can hear that they are arguing about which work is better, the "pop drummer" or the "drunken folk".

On the left, a tent was pulled down and a chicken coop was made. Gavin was startled. Gavin rubbed his eyes and asked, "what time is it?" When he got the "quarter past eight" answer, he immediately raised his voice to wake up his friends in the surrounding tents, "the horn rings!" Then Gavin could see that the tents were restless, full of vitality and the smell of sunshine.

unbelievable!

Even Gavin, who has seen a lot, is still stunned. He has already imagined the picture in advance

70000? Although the Pioneer Village music festival only sold 70000 sets of tickets, more than 70000 enthusiastic audiences arrived in the Indio desert. It is conservatively estimated that 200000 people should be the bottom line; Gavin's own views should be able to reach more than 250000 people.

Don't underestimate this group of data. At present, the throughput of the world's top music festivals is about 100000 people, and the most sensational rock am ring Music Festival in Germany, the mobilization number is 150000 people. This group of data is difficult to achieve in any performance venue in the world.

Indio's venues are located in the desert, and there is no room limit for them. However, 200000 people are still a terrible forecast.

Gavin's 250000 prediction is already insane. However, when he arrived at the scene, he knew that he was too naive.

More than 250000?

At this time, Gavin really understood what a sea of people is. Now he strongly hopes that he can have a helicopter's God's perspective and overlook the whole desert. Only in this way can he see the grand situation of the whole situation and what magnificent scenery it is.

If you look down from the top, you can see a yellow ribbon like stream winding up and down to outline the magnificence of the whole desert. The dotted and colorful squares on both sides build up the majestic dense forest like a villa on the sea. If you look carefully, you can see that the dense crowd is rolling like a huge wave and converging towards the dark blue black hole, So deep blue, rich almost black, quiet but surging to swallow all the light, the vastness of the whole world all gathered there, the mystery of the universe makes people become small.

People, everyone.

Those beautiful spots are all people, like countless sand in the desert, small particles converge into a vast ocean.

According to the data released by the Los Angeles Times, Indio town has attracted 500000 person times, which is beyond the 450000 person times of Woodstock. It has truly written its own history. However, the newspaper also admits that the statistics are only a vague estimate, and the actual number may be even more in just three days, This barren desert is even more noisy than half of the cities in the United States.

Gavin is willing to believe that a sea of 500000 people will easily submerge him.

Even if the tickets were not available, the fanatics from all over the world still gathered together. In these three days, Indio became the heart of the earth, and all the blood was transported and pushed towards the heart. Even if he could not arrive at the scene in person, he still cast his eyes.

unbelievable!

Gavin watched the grand occasion greedily and shocked. The hot air penetrated into the blood vessels along the pores, and then jumped up with joy. It seemed that he was back in his youth again. The throbbing and scalding of the youth hormone made his heart hit his chest strongly all the time.

Once, he believed that a cavity of blood can change the world; Now, he is willing to believe it again.

"Hey, hey! Man Gavin is a bit unfamiliar. He has almost forgotten how young people talk and party, but he still clumsily regains that feeling, "do you have tickets? What should we do without tickets? Er... I'm not asking about scalpers. "

Worried that his words might cause misunderstanding, Gavin quickly added that it made the young people laugh.

"Believe us, no one will sell cattle here, and no one will buy them."

"Standing here with both feet, this is the best ticket!"

"I tell you, it's an open-air music festival, as long as it's on the scene; We can revel together, even if we can't see the stage performance with our own eyes. "

"Yes, after the music starts, we can enjoy it outside. We have our own party."

"Come and join us! We don't have tickets. We're going to the back of the venue. There's an open space where we can revel and listen to the performances on the main stage. "

The young people didn't give Gavin a chance at all. They were all talking. Before Gavin could react, they had already called Gavin forward together.

Gavin muddled to follow up, but still a little anxious, "Er, I'm here to enjoy Langley."

"Ha ha, of course!" The crowd burst into laughter.

Gavin doesn't know why.

"More than half of the audience came for the blue ceremony, or who didn't come for the blue ceremony?" one of the young girls with explosive head said happily

Gavin began to laugh, too.

"We have inquired, and the organizers are aware that the scene is a bit beyond expectations. They are thinking about solutions. Of course, it's absolutely impossible for everyone to enter the infield to see lanli, but on the last evening, they should open temporary admission on the spot, allowing them to queue up and enter the stadium on a first come first served basis. This is the current temporary plan. We need to wait for notice on how to implement it, but we can be sure that we still have the opportunity. "

Then, she turned her head and looked at her little friends. All of them said in one voice, "no one can refuse Lan Li!"
