Natalie Holland won a very special media pass to Future Music Festival for her entry in Student Edge’s “Predict the Future” competition.
Her prediction?
I foresee,
Thousands of weary people wearing outlandish clothes, strange bright colours, elaborate costumes and tribal insignias. From their grassy, dusty feet, to the pink-red patches that shade many of their shoulders, cheeks and arms, they look as though they’ve been through an ordeal. Lights and electronics tower in the background and debris covers the ground. The many coloured masks they wore over their eyes during the day have been moved to their heads. The women carry small satchels, although the money they once contained is all but gone. They walk slowly, almost as if they don’t want to leave, some of them are singing, others begin to feel cold, many are planning on returning. They pour out of the guarded fences and make their way to waiting transport carriages. They become much quieter, all their energy exhausted. Their ears will be ringing for days.
