As temperatures rise across the planet, music lovers and party animals don their best festival gear in preparation for days of dancing in the sunshine.
All of a sudden, foregoing showers and living off of nothing but chips and beer is completely acceptable. In fact, other festival goers will encourage it.
The rules of “normal” life disappear at summer music festivals. That means no bathing, getting your nutrients, going to work, getting adequate sleep, all things adulting. The liberation brings in crowds of thousands year after year.
But a vague sense of anarchy is not the only thing to love about festivals (nor is the music). With this newfound freedom comes an enhanced sense of community. Everyone in the crowd has come for a reason so, whatever that reason may be, you all have something in common.
It doesn’t even matter that you’re covered in sweat and dirt.
When deciding which music festival to attend, the line-up should only be one deciding factor. The destination and vibe of the festival are just as important.
Of course, if you can land a festival with a badass line-up in an amazing destination, then you’ve hit the jackpot.
Not sure where to start your search? Some of the best summer music festivals around the world are waiting for you.
