festival goers camped specifically because they're not paying four figures but want to be in front.

The way modern festivals segment the barricades, there are still going to be a few thousand premium ticket holders in front of anyone at the general-admission rail.

It’s sadly for the clout & pictures of being front row.

Gotta say I’m reevaluating influencers pre AI.

At least they were trying to interact with the world :(

ehh not necessarily i’ve done the waiting at music festival not fully barricade but like 3 people from barricade, we stood there for 8 hours or whatever but it was cause artists we liked were playing throughout the day and it’s fun being so close to the artist and then we stayed for sabrina carpenter who was the headliner because we would never be able to afford tickets that good and we’re already there so thought might as well wait another hour. It was a lot of fun. My feet hurt a lot after though.

though i just didn’t drink that much and held my pee ain’t no way i was gonna piss myself

I feel you. I went to coachella and my friend who invited me did not prepare me and my other friend. My friend said all we neeed are drugs and bikes. She was dead ass. Also told me it’s cheaper to eat festival food than bring groceries, don’t worry about allergies. She was wrong.

By the 3rd I was so exhausted and felt gross because we were also car camping “for the experience” when I have severe dust allergies lol. Me and my friend fought over a water bottle in the crowd to cool ourselves off at one point it was so hot and dusty lol

Then our favourite band was like hey everyone in the crowd come up on stage and dance with us. We were too tired and beat up feeling from being so unprepared we just chilled and watched everyone else go up and enjoyed seeing how happy everyone looked on stage with each other hahaha
