countless times i have heard people that say one good concert, one fgood rock show, one good festival, can change the world.
I take to to mean that one amazing expierence can change the way a person chooses to live their lives, and how they relate to the world. I think that they can. but what do you think?

I know one good festival has changed my world and it all keeps evolving with each killer festival every summer.

I don't believe you can manufacture something as meaningful as an epiphany.
Can it be a great time? Sure, but its not going to lead to any absolute truths.

I think that every experience changes the way you view the world and they way you interact within it, a festival is just one of those experiences, but yeah I think its possible.

If a festival can change someone's life, damn right it can change the world. Will it? Probably not.
But if you don't think one person can change the world you're sadly mistaken!

I would have to say that most of it is not the festival or concert itself, but providing a envoirnment where people can have that expiereince

There is no way in hell that a "good festival" can or would ever change the world.

Every large festival changes the world.In some way.It may not be immediately evident,but its happening.100s to thousands of people have life changing experiences at festivals,concerts and gatherings.
Even the small ones have an impact on the world and the universal consciousness.
As long as 1 person gets something positive out of it,then the world is being changed.

Just look at Woodstock and ask if that changed the world one bit. I'm sure it's intentions were to try and change something, but ended up in flames and chaos...

Now that I think about it......IT IS!
I guess there is nothing else that will make others want to make a difference, but add flames/chaos...then someone decides to take it seriously.
