The 25 Things We Still Remember About That Last Night At Good Vibes
Good vibes, great music.

There were about 13,000 people at Good Vibes this year
13,000 people under the rain and wading through sloshy mud for good vibes and great music? Can meh? Caaan.
People came from near and far, stayed the night at hotels around the area, and paired their concert OOTD with something waterproof, just in case.
The days were packed with punctual, back-to-back performances across four stages at The Ranch in Gohtong Jaya, Genting Highlands.
Local acts like alextbh, Jaggfuzzbeats, NYK, Talitha Tan, Orang, Airliftz, Najwa and more paved the way on both days, before headlining acts like Dua Lipa, G-Eazy, Zhu, The Kooks, Kodaline, LANY, and Phoenix took the stage by night.
Many would agree that with a solid lineup like that, dipping your feet in mud was seriously all worth it.
It was definitely a weekend to remember for many reasons.
Here are just some moments from the last night that we're still looping in our head:
1. Seeing the band's name on the backdrop and it finally dawns upon you that "OMG, this is actually happening"
2. Hearing the customary "Hello, Malaysia! It's our very first time!" intro again
It's still sweet no matter how many times we've heard it at the festival.
3. Regretting not buying a raincoat sooner because the drizzle is turning into the rain and you're getting wet
4. But that's okay because the music isn't stopping and there's so much to soak in from the stage
6. You're looking around and no one is complaining about sticky wet hair or getting their clothes drenched
7. Their shoes are ruined, their pants are ruined, and oh boy, so many flip flops stuck in the mud
We hope your shoes are all cleaned up by now.
8. But everyone is singing along and dancing while their toes enjoy a free, cooling mud treatment
11. When Steve Garrigan keeps asking "Are you alright?" over five, six times in his Irish accent and exclaiming "Malaysiaaa!" whenever he could
14. Getting flashbacks to your college days or that time in your life when you started listening to them
Music makes you remember.
15. "You make my heart feel like it's summer, when the rain is pouring down..."
We all cheered because the lyrics were so 'ngam' with the rain.
17. Everyone singing the "Oh oh oh, oh OHHHH!" part in 'All I Want'. Haunting. Amazing.
Not forgetting when everyone sang along to 'High Hopes'!
18. Your legs are aching from standing all night but your body is somehow still bopping up and down?!
20. "These days it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes, and goes!"
'Lisztomania'!
21. When you're kinda zoning out and just staring at whatever's on the screen like a moth drawn to the light
25. We wished the night would never end
Well, technically it didn't end there. We had to go spray our legs and wash the mud off our shoes! :D
Thank you, Good Vibes Festival 2017 for an awesome weekend! We can't wait for next year's.
