Concertgoers jam at Rolling Loud music festival

Flashing fireworks, smoke and colorful lights filled the amphitheatre. Bass shook the ground like an earthquake and people were like wild animals. Rolling Loud was one of multiple concerts that was held on Oct. 21 and Oct. 22 at Shoreline Festival Grounds in Mountain View. Many well-known rappers such as XXXTentacion and Lil Uzi Vert performed, and tickets started at $200.

Most people were headed towards the “Loud Stage” which was one of the two stages located in the amphitheatre. The “Wav Stage” was smaller, but the quality of the artists was the same as the “Loud Stage.”

People were given a time list for when certain artists would show up, however, to much of their disappointment, few main artists flaked from the concert including Future.

Towards the end of the concert, a great amount people arrived filling up the whole amphitheatre which was barely filled in the earlier hours. When the sky darkened, the better artists in the lineup came up to perform which was accompanied with fireworks and an amazing lightshow. Many people were dancing and jumping up and down while having a great time.

Overall, this concert was a great experience. The music and atmosphere were great, although water and food were extremely expensive. Going at night is a much better experience than going at the earlier hours as the place becomes more lively. I would rate this concert four out of five.
