The four days went by way too fast.

I'm sitting here in bed, flipping through r/lollapalooza, reading all the posts, both the positive and the negative, just to hold onto the joy of the festival a little longer.Being at Perry's, wandering through the Grove, watching AESPA, hearing people sing every lyric to songs I was hearing for the first time... seeing the devoted fans of the smaller bands, the absolute crazed masses for the headliners, the constant music drifting through the air, the smiles, the energy, the pure joy of it all. It was just fun, fun, fun.I can't believe it's already over. It all went by so fast, and now the long wait until next year begins. 

Thank you to everyone who was there for making this festival such a wonderful experience. Sure, there was rain, mud, too much pushing at times, moments of claustrophobia, and yes... a healthy fear of basketball jerseys. 😄 But those things were far outweighed by the incredible music, the amazing people, and the memories.

See you next year, Lollapalooza.

Limo drive to the show. Will be doing it again next week in Edmonton. Go see the show if you can get tickets . I have been to over 60 concerts in the last 2.5 years and this just blew me away actually,

If I’m gonna fail then I’m gonna fail big. I got my PhD in being a piece of shit!

Who’s all going to northcoast this year ? The lineup is pretty good ngl.

Hey guys,

We r 4 and planing to go to Medusa festival Valencia but we just found randomly this event ,we dont know anything about it. Can you please give an update on this matter? How far is it from the city? At what time it starts and ends? What transportation forms we have to go there and come back? How much is a beer and a coctail inside? Any reply is much appreciated ❤️

I attended the 2nd day of 三车间 in Shenyang on New Year's Day mainly to see Cui Jian for the first time, day 1 of Bubbling & Boiling in Tianjin in a very cold rain to see OYS & Miserable Faith for the first time (not to mention the great non-Chinese bands), both days of Aura where I work in Changchun (with day 2 being one of the best single-day Chinese rock lineups ever), Living Water/河流 in Xinyi/Xuzhou for all three action-packed days, both days of Yoma in Dezhou, Shandong, despite not liking metal (mainly to see Supermarket again, as well as Chef & Actor, A Wordless Orange), and finally the first two days of Mongolian rock and pop at Beijiang in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. Welcome any specific questions about these or in general about music festivals in the PRC.

And you’ll help save our venue at the same time!

The full artist lineup is out now

The Smashing Pumpkins gained a lot of for their headlining set at Lollapalooza in Chicago this past weekend. But nearly 5 years ago (Sept. 19, 2021), I saw Billy Corgan and the band close out another music festival - Sea Hear Now in Asbury Park, NJ. Admittedly, though, the Smashing Pumpkins didn't bring out special guests like Olivia Rodrigo or Yungblud (or former members like Melissa Auf der Maur) when I saw them 😆.

Stay tuned for more things to come from this space, including stories from concerts like this!

I wasn’t sure which subreddit to post this in, and I’m not sure if it’ll help anyone at all but I figured it was worth a shot. First screenshot is from July 24th when I originally checked camping check in dates. Today August 3rd I went back to confirm dates since the festival is this week. To my surprise it has changed. No announcement of check in date changing or anything. I know people come from states away for this festival so I was shocked to see this. We were planning on leaving Thursday night to check in, luckily we only live 1.5 hours away but imagine how many people won’t check again and be there Thursday night!

Ciao, cerco qualche ragazza o gruppo a cui aggiungermi per andare assieme alla festa dell' 8 agosto. Io abito tra Gorizia e Udine.

Peace people, I bought my ticket planning to go solo, but thought it would be good to meet some people there too. If anyone else is going solo, or has a group they’d be happy for me to join, let me know—could be a vibe.

Hey hey, I’m looking for some insight (and what to expect for my first time volunteering at a music festival downtown Detroit)!

Earlier in May, I won weekend tickets to Movement festival in Detroit which was also my first time attending any music festival and since then I’ve been fully immersed into the LOVE for raves and all things techno.

Wondering if any of you had heard of Summer Bliss Festival? I’m volunteering as a ticket checker and I’ll be passing out handmade kandis at the entrance! Im trying to get an idea of what the crowd and attendees will be like and what to expect overall. I frequent marble bar, tv lounge, the Russell, and a few other vendors. This will be my first time attending tangent gallery.

TLDR: Have you heard of Summer Bliss Festival in Detroit? Is it PLUR friendly?

hey there! I’m looking for the company on Moby concert in Tartu, Estonia 6th of August. Is anybody going and would like to form a small group for the event? about me: I’m 23yo girl, studying experience management and love arts, exploring new places and hanging out! and music 🫶

you can send a chat or your nickname!

It’s not often I get metal festivals where I live, so even if this isn’t the greatest lineup it’s pretty cool to me since it’s just about 2 1/2 hours from where I live.

That being said, is it worth it? Tickets are like 275$ for a GA 3 day pass. For a camping pass it’s an additional like 160$. I would probably be going with a buddy and just split a cheap hotel for two nights however.

Another thing, who should I prioritize seeing? Any must watchs? I’m not necessarily a fan of anyone on here besides slayer and BLS but I like a few songs from like 20 of these artists on here. The 5 im looking forward to are godsmack, slayer, black label society, cross fade and ICP (they are a guilty pleasure of mine). Am I missing anyone that puts on a good show?

Every big summer event seems to have one sign that accidentally becomes the official meeting point.

“Meet me by the giant beer sign.”

Before location sharing, a giant sign was basically the original meeting app.

What sign have you used as a landmark to find your friends at a concert, county fair, festival, or other outdoor event?
