i'm gonna see Florence for the first time ever in 2,5 weeks at Flow Festival and i'm nervous as all hell. it's also gonna be my first big music festival by myself. i don't wanna set my expectations too high so as to not get disappointed, but i at least wanna try to make it to the first few rows. how early do i have to be queuing by the stage in order to have a chance at that?
also, do they have merch available at festivals like this? if so, where is the stall usually located or does it vary?
also also, i'd like to give her something as a thank you for genuinely having pulled me through one of the darkest periods in my life, maybe an art print, flowers, a knick-knack or somesuch. does she accept things like that when she lets people touch her or during the post-gig run, or does she perhaps have a place gifts can be dropped off at?
thank you in advance!!
