There’s nothing more exciting than watching your favorite artists sing your favorite songs and having you singing along at the top of your lungs.
And that is what music festivals are about – the bright lights consume you, and the idea of being surrounded by like-minded people makes you want to stay in the zone forever.
Apart from everything above, the joyful experience allows for a separation from the everyday hustle, which is not commonly found elsewhere. So it should go without saying that letting yourself loose at a music festival will always be an unforgettable experience.
On the other hand, if you are too tied up with yourself this year and can’t think of a reason to put on those festive bandannas, rest assured because we’re here to help. From wearing incredibly detailed and intricate outfits to rocking out with your best of friends, here are some reasons why you should attend a music festival at least once in your life.
1. You get to camp
The best part about attending a music festival is the amount of camping you’ll be able to do. You can enjoy the camping experience while surrounded by thousands of people. You typically do not have to camp for more than 3 to 4 days, so it is still shorter than an actual camping trip. Still unsure?
Well, listen to this. Nowadays, more and more summer music festivals offer luxurious camping options that allow attendees to enjoy the festival while also providing a safe and relaxed atmosphere.
2. They’re entertaining
If it wasn’t clear from the start of this blog, music festivals are a lot of fun! They have a high-energy, upbeat atmosphere that is contagious. It’s impossible to leave that kind of environment without a smiley face. Aside from the fact that having fun is fun, having fun every day has been shown to help you deal with difficult situations that arise in life.
3. There are a plethora of artists to see
Consider this: if you wanted to see Bruno Mars, a nosebleed seat in an arena would probably cost around $130. On the other hand, an excellent seat would cost around $250. So, why not see Bruno Mars, Blink-182, Weezer, Future, and many others for $250 and get as close to them as you want? If you ask us, it’s a win-win situation. There are even cheap day music festivals, such as Warped Tour, where you have the opportunity to listen to 30+ bands for around $50.
4. It lifts your spirits.
When you attend a music festival, your mood will undoubtedly improve. With time, you will feel a sense of belonging that will allow you to be more disconnected from the stresses of everyday life. Suppose you’re visiting the festival grounds for the first time. In that case, the change in environment will instantly suck your soul in, assisting you in your easy escape.
Every attendee’s feelings after a music festival will be anything but somber. And a music festival is sure to make everyone happy throughout the week; a smile will appear in place of a grin or a grimace.
5. The dancing will liberate your soul.
Every enslaved soul requires that moment of freedom to explore the world’s splendor. Right? Music is the aspect that drives people to seek solace in newer tunes. People attending music festivals will have a lot of floors to dance on, allowing them to let themselves out into the clouds of liberty. The adrenaline rush is always higher when you dance, so that part is crucial at a music festival. You may not be aware of the mental health benefits of dancing, but it does help you stay sane and laid back during difficult times. The music played at these events will have you stomping your feet on the floor to absorb the positivity coming from the tracks.
6. The possibility of meeting new people
An attendee at a music festival is bound to meet new people. One of the most exciting aspects of festivals is their ability to connect you with new people in ways not possible in everyday life. Attendees of music festivals frequently notice that people are more open and friendly during their stay at the festival than in their daily lives. Music festivals allow festivalgoers to connect through their shared passion for music or a specific artist.
7. The ambiance will set you free.
When you enter a festival, you automatically adopt a carefree attitude. You’re only there to have a great time dancing to your favorite music. This euphoric feeling distinguishes listening to an artist outside of your home. You completely shut out the outside world, stopping time as you carelessly dance with other like-minded people.
8. You’ll be able to dress up in some pretty cool outfits.
One of the best things about music festivals is that no one looks down on your outfit! The weirder, the better. Ravers go all out when it comes to fashion, from extravagant customs to body paint. Don’t be afraid to try out a new hairstyle and some booty shorts or fishnet tights you never thought you’d wear.
9. Stress reduction
According to studies, simply listening to music impacts your health. It is beneficial for energizing your brain, reducing stress, and elevating your mood. On the other hand, attending concerts has a similar effect, albeit differently. Attending a live music event is a set-aside time for you to enjoy being entertained.
It relieves stress by allowing you to step away from everyday life and not feel anxious or think about anything other than the experience. And when you take time to engage in an activity that allows you to rest and act unbothered, you feel happier.
10. Excellent food and entertainment
As mentioned several times in this blog, life is celebrated at music festivals. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to sample food from various peoples and cultures. After all, there is nothing more satisfying than eating your favorite food while listening to music.
11. The stages are incredible.
The stages are built days before the festival to ensure perfection because they are an essential component of any performance. Artists carefully select their graphics to help you visualize their ideas and music, so take a close look! Each festival has its distinct stage, so examine every depth to see the symbolism.
Conclusion
If you are still debating whether to buy a ticket that appears to be an expensive investment, consider the alternative. You can either go to the festival and enjoy everything listed above or spend another night at home, watching TV.
So do the right thing – buy that ticket and invest yourself in memories that you will cherish forever.
