Who likes music festivals? I figured id make a general discussion thread about them because theres so much tov talk about and i love sharing stories.
What fests have you been to? What kind of music? Drug experiences? Stories? Tips for others? Concerns about the scene?

Yeah I ben to some fests that's for sure. I like music festivals better than shows because I can spend some of my time as messed up as I wanna be, but have other times that are a little more lucid. Nice to be able to mix it up.
Shade, warm shelter, water, and easily prepared healthy food are key.

I've been to a few but I don't like festivals that much compared to nightclub venues. I recently went to Hakkasan in Vegas and it was the greatest thing ever.. 10x better then some shit show festival like UMF or Tomorrowland. EDC looks fun af though and I'm boing next year. Other than that I prefer a B2B set at Echostage, 930 Club, or Hakkasan any day over a over hyped shit festival like Thank You Fest where the a good portion are freshman kids or meat heads and bimbos
I'm going to Moonrise Festival next Saturday too, I'm only going because I know the guys who own Club Glow the hosts of the event and Audien and Porter Robinson are going to be there.

You really just called Tomorrowland a shitshow but only to say next that EDC looks fun. Those are like the same thing dude. Tons of young kids going to the scene to do drugs and rage hard. Pretty sure people die like every year at EDC.
IMO, the EDM scene ruins the music. Lot of good artists out there doing electronic music but it's ruined by the young kids with glow sticks. The Jam Band scene is 10x better than it has been the last several years because EDM has sucked up all the Kandy Kids and now you have 90% of the people at Jam Band shows that are just all about the music.

I love festivals.
The best ones ive seen were Where Life Begins (the best), Earthdance NW, Kaliediscope, Human Nature (the first one) and What The Festival.
Also, been to a couple small outdoor rogue raves, which aare just as awesome as festivals.
They all played EDM music, of all genres. Human Nature 1 had live bands, hip hop, which was really cool. Kaliediscope also had a variety of music, including Nas and even some Underground.
Sadly, the festival scene is slowly dying off. Only a few have survived. Its a dying species sadly.
So many illegal festivals have gone down (started with Where Life Begins, which got shut down by cops). The fuckin cops are always ruining these awesome festivals cause of non-permitted events.
but it was great while it lasted.
As for dr00gz, back in 2009 for Where Life Begins, i never seeen so much acid in my life! People were giving it to me *for free*. Insane.
That was the best festivals. 7 mini stages, all with unique music playin 24 hours for about 3 days. now thats a festival!
Over the years, the festivals ive seen are getting worst. Just sloppy and unprepared. Unprofessional compared to how it was.
the outdoor raves had very unique music. Cutting-edge hybrid fusion genres of music ive never heard of (and never will hear again). It was special. Love those brand-new experimental genres. The best.
sad to see them disappear, especially with NWTenko.org being taken down as well.
At least there are still a couple left.
Sure do miss the rogue outdoor raves. Damn cops ruined it for us over here....

Its not a true festival unless you're camping. I love being able to walk back to my camp spun out at 2-3am, opening up the cooler and grabbing a bag of wine and just wandering around all the campsites meeting people and exchanging stories. Shit gets weird late night in the campgrounds at fests and you overhear some of the funniest shit.
Ive been to a couple fests that you cant camp at and it just sucks paying for a hotel room and getting back there is a pain in the arse.

yeah I agree it's not really a legit fest if you can't camp. Fuck yeah fun late night weirdness. Wandering around spun as fuck trying to find camp and coming upon random strangers in similar states.

Met a 15 year old kid at Counterpoint who told his parents he went camping lmfao. He tried lsd mdma and shrooms for the first time that weekend. Kid was camping by himself and loving life telling us about all his crazy revelations through the weekend. I gave him a beer and some advice and sent him on his way

Agreed, i usually go so hard saturday nights and i end up not sleeping and wandering around like a zombie sunday morning questioning my life haha.
Thats why i like Suwannee bc theres a river you can kick it in.

Big G isnt on the lineup this year, they were last year. But yeh i feel they play the same set everytime. I do like their tunes though.

oh word i musta got mixed up
lately Pretty Lights is being a bitch about his recent break up with his gf and every show hes just been rocked at. his set at bisco this year was some of the most embrassing shit ive ever seen. i love PL but no joke its one of the worst sets ive ever seen in my life, like a top 3
he fucked up time and time again and was def K rocked. mumbling fucking gibberish into the mic and at one point he just spaced the fuck out and no music was being played, house lights were on, and hes just sitting there staring off into space. then he like snapped outta it and started playing music again like nothing happened
it was pathetic. set had zero flow and hed like start to do ok with segments then hed fucked up royally again. shit was so bad
watching that set was sad. straight up

I feel like he does opiates, in all his interviews he seems so dopey but it could be K. Damn thats sad, at Bonnaroo this year he disappointed loads of people because there was supposed to be a PL sunrise set after his superjam but it never happened. The cherub dj ended up filling in. Might be a related issue.
