Musical Festivals for Dummies
At music festivals you see your favorite artist plus five more artists you have never heard of. You get thrown around in a crowd for hours on end, and when the concert’s over, you return to an unfamiliar sleeping arrangement. Then you wake up, you do what you did the day before. All. Over. Again. Here are some of C Mag’s tips for surviving the insanely harsh and fun world that is a music festival.
GENERAL TIPS:
• With your group plan out ahead of time who is important to see, because there are many stages and set times will overlap.
• No matter where you are, music festivals are a harsh environment and it is vital that you stay hydrated.
• Music festivals aren’t know for their good service. To avoid a disaster, pick out a set location or landmark to meet at when you lose your friends in the crowd.
• If none of your favorite artists are playing, go to one of the smaller stages and see someone you have not heard of before.
• When you feel tired, take a seat and try some people watching.
• Wear comfortable shoes because music festivals entail a lot of walking and standing, so be nice to your feet.
• Most music festivals will have an app that tells you when and where artists are playing.Make sure to download the app to stay updated!
