For students who have recently graduated, they need to go to a music festival to experience the real live music and not just listen to a recording. It is very important for students to see and experience live music because it is much different than practicing music. They will get a better appreciation of the art form through experiencing it. A music festival also allows students to meet other like-minded people who share the same interests with them as was stated from Thesisgeek.com. This can make them more passionate about pursuing a career in music after they graduate. Students need to see what goes on at a poetry reading. Reading is one of the best ways to express one's thoughts and ideas. Poetry readings can be quite challenging because there is a great deal of poetry to understand. Some students might have difficulty understanding poetry. So a poetry reading is a perfect opportunity for them to try to grasp some of the meaning and significance of poems. Students also need to go to museums if they want to expand their knowledge about the world around them. A student visiting a museum is going to be able to see and observe things in a whole new light. The senses are enhanced when visiting museums. There is nothing more exciting than going to see a dinosaur exhibit in the Museum of Natural History or an antique clock in the Smithsonian. Students also need to go to musical festivals if they are interested in joining in. There are musical festivals all over New York and each of them can be a fun and memorable experience for students to enjoy. Whether they are interested in playing an instrument, singing, dancing, or even playing a percussion instrument, students will find a musical event to enjoy. Students also need to go to youth fairs if they are looking for a fun and exciting way to spend some time with friends and family. If there is a talent show going on, students might want to sign up for it and give their performance to win some money and maybe even a prize. This experience will also benefit the student in many ways. They can learn a lot about themselves and perhaps have an opportunity to win money as well. All of these events are good for students to experience and they should see why students should go to festivals all over New York City.

I’m going to sundown festival in Norfolk this summer, I want to bring alcohol into the camping area, however I’m not sure what security is like at this particular festival, I know at most festivals they really aren’t strict however being 17 is it worth bringing a crate of 24 just for it to be taken away or is it the total opposite?

I’m going to creamfields 2021 this year on my own, I’m a female and only 18. Is this safe to do? Just nervous and needing some assurance.

Could the road map to Rock be Lincolnshire's very own Call of the Wild Festival that looks likely to be the first opportunity for Rock, Metal & Punk fans to gather together in the amazing outdoor arena within Lincolnshire's Showground. Nominated for Best New Festival in 2019 the future was looking promising until the pandemic struck. Never giving up, organisers have rescheduled the event no less than three times & genuinely deserve the support of the Rock community.

Anyone selling 2x bronze 4 day camping tickets? Desperate 🤞

Hi! If anybody is there, how do you feel about female representation in Creamfields past and present line-ups? Also, if you've been to Creamfields, have you ever felt discriminated against by the festival staff or other festival goers because of your gender? Would love to hear from everybody! Thanks so much!!!☺️

I grew up in Edinburgh. I was continually told that I should be glad to live in the city that hosts the world's largest art festival. It may well be the world's largest arts festival but it has always been elitist. There was never really anything there for me, especially in music terms. There has been the odd exception. Orbital playing the Ross Bandstand being one. This was when they drowned out the lone bagpiper at the Military Tattoo with Satan. This is the first year that I can remember there being more than one decent act playing at the Festival. St Vincent is one of the headliners this year, Mogwai are playing and Scottish indie legends the Pastels and the Vaselines are doing shows. Ok, considered among a month long festival that has 1000s of acts this does not even constitute a drop in the ocean it is still after all these years a start. As well as the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe we have the smaller but continuing to grow nicely Hidden Doors festival. They have managed to line up Nadine Shah, Dream Wife, Honeyblood, Slyvan Esso and the Young Fathers among others. Edinburgh has a real shortage of music venues, most have been closed down either to become student accommodation or because new build houses complained about the noise. If you buy a house next to a music venue what do you expect? The live music scene is dying up here. It is looking increasingly likely the only time that we will attract decent acts is as part of one of our cities festivals. A sad state of affairs.

Thought I'd start a new thread for This is Tomorrow 2020 so we aren't having to revisit the 2019 one. Anyway, thoughts on the new lineup announcement? Can't say it does a lot for me, tempted for the Sunday purely for Fender at this point. Any ideas at all on who the Friday headliner could be? Can see another barrier failure if Cinnamon's crowds are as rowdy as I've heard. (Also my first post on this site, greetings eFestivals!)

Hi I'm attending Cremfileds this year and just had a few questions about security!! Are the searches really strict and if they find my drugs will they be taken away from me??? anything is helpful thank you!!

With 2020 being an enforced fallow year, I think it would make sense for Emily and Michael to begin planning their rumored Variety Bazaar to help recover from the financial blow of COVID-19 whilst still giving Worthy Farm a break in 2023/24. If it were to go ahead, should it be similar in scope to Glastonbury, or a different sort of thing altogether?

I'm a design student at Loughborough University, currently doing a project which is looking at rapid drink cooling in a festival environment. So, if you’re interested in a solution to warm beers in a muddy field, then do please take a minute to take this quick survey! :) it's anonymous and all data/research will help to find a solution! SURVEY: https://s.surveyplanet.com/jD7d_28VB Or if anyone has any advice or information as to current ways people might attempt to keep drinks cold, do let me know! Thanks :D

Sooo, starting a thread here to see if anyone knows when the lineup is gonna drop- last years came out in November 2018, does anyone have like a vague guess as to when it may get released?

I have 2 tickets for NBHD Weekender- Weekend tickets (2 days), Headliners are Ian Brown- from the Stone Roses, and Catfish and the Bottlemen) I'm selling the tickets as I live down south of England and am not going to be able to make the trip up to Warrington this year. Selling the tickets for £90 each & original price was £127.80 including the booking fee, the tickets are fully insured as well.

Considering it was meant to happen last year in London, this could be a reason why Wireless could be heavy UK related headliners. What a coup should this happen, they did always state London was Europe

Hey! So I would really like to go to 2000 Trees (whole weekend) this year however it appears I have nobody to go with. So I thought I'd reach out on here to see if there's anybody else who might want to hang out solo or part of a larger group. Female 24 from Essex Let me know: Group size Age What days you're going And where you're from Cheers and hope to see you there 🙃

What's the best concert you have ever been to? For me it was Tame Impala at Glastonbury 2019, headlining the other stage. The show was just incredible. I love Tame Impala anyway; but i just remember stopping for a second looking round and being frozen in time for a split second. I felt so much comfort and relaxed in this moment. Also they played really well.
