Headliner sets are often the worst sets at a festival. Too crowded, sound quality drops, and the energy is weird. The best experiences are at 3pm on side stages.
VIP areas are a waste of money at 90% of festivals. You're paying extra to stand behind a fence slightly closer to the stage, surrounded by people on their phones.
Festival fashion culture has gotten out of hand. People in outfits that cost + are miserable by hour 3 because their boots hurt. Comfort > aesthetics every time.
A short dispatch each week. Lineup announcements, new festivals, and quiet gems worth the trip.
