Festival job

I just realized I haven’t told you about what I’ll work with at the Hultsfred festival. I was offered three different jobs. One job with cleaning which sounds like hell. Just imagine cleaning up during and after a rock festival with more than 20 000 visitors! The second job was guarding one of the entrance gates to the festival. This job required me to work four five hour shifts spread over four days. The third job which I accepted is to be a guard at the sport center where the festival visitors can go to take a shower. I’ll work twelve hours from 7 PM to 7 AM and I’m done.

Last years job working backstage was so much fun but I did work one ten hour shift and one seventeen hour shift so this is a lot less hours. And I’ll be working with one of my sisters! The people I’ve worked with the past two festivals have been nice to hang with but of course I prefer hanging with my sister.

The festival is three weeks away and I’m really excited. The week after that there’s the Sonisphere festival. It’s this touring festival with Metallica as the headliner, which is coming to Hultsfred. I’ll probably try to get a work at that festival aswell  because otherwise I can’t afford going. If I don’t get a job it’s not really a big deal since it’s only a one day thing and I’m not a big fan of any of the bands playing there.  Of course Metallica are good but they’re not one of my favourite bands.

  1. Would be awesome to work backstage at sonisphere aaah I m SO jealous if you’d get that. =)
    I haven’t gotten any tickets for that since my bf is doing a tenta that day of sonishpere and we’re seeing them a day after anyway.

    And 17 hour shift sounds MAD, good you have shorter shifts now. Are you seeing any bands? The headliners are the killers? that’s pretty lame lol :)

  2. Wow, working backstage sounds so cool :) !
    12 hours seems like alot, do you sleep when you’re not working?

    Answering your comment:
    Yeah it’s a good show :) like a reality show / tv-series. If you like the o.c. and sex and the city but less comic I think you’ll like it.

  3. Oh yes, there are those people with staring problems. Kind of makes you wanna scream, “Hey, take a picture. It lasts longer.” Haha, that’s one of those totally cliche lines but it works. :P

    Wow, there seem to be a lot of festival/concert things in your area. & Those are long hours but I guess it must be fun! :D

  4. Don’t you have a regular job? I notice you always do part-times xD
    due to many jobs you fall asleep and forgot to put your name in the field box, sleep well tonight alright :)
    btw, have fun in the festival, and in your work
    take care :D

  5. Hamnade? HAMNA heter det. Jag kan varken skriva på engelska ELLER svenska, det är fan illa numer! Kanske för att förvirrningen är totalt då jag ska till Kalix med flygplanet imorgon? Ska jag ta kort på våra gamla kojställen? ;D PUSS!

  6. Showers for festival visitors? Tha’ts the first time I hear about that.. do you mean the visitors or the performers? o__o

    1 hour shift.. I’d go crazy, even if it was a festival only of bands tat I like..
    Hope you ave fun there, you probably will, going to a festival and getting paid for it.. what can be better?

  7. God, cleaning after a rock fest is hell, there is no way to make that sound glamorous. I would simply die.

    Guarding wouldn’t be as ad, depending on the pay..
