BEYOND THE NOTES
The best time of year is quickly upon us. The sun is shining, lineups are dropping, and iconic headliners are ready to take the stage. For decades, festivals have been an economically friendly and equally as entertaining way to experience as much music as possible. With incredibly diverse rosters of artists and countless unique festivals popping up to cover every genre, festival season has exponentially grown and is only continuing to gain popularity. I’ve gathered a handful of “cult favorites,” massive festivals that happen annually in the United States, and here’s what your favorite festival might reveal about you.
1. Coachella
If your favorite festival is Coachella, you definitely treat Instagram as your full-time job. You’re always on top of the trends and your festival outfits definitely reflect that: you’re easily winning best dressed. Even though your music taste might read as basic, you just know what’s hot right now – no shame in that
2. Rolling Loud
Despite the hearing damage you’ve likely accumulated from always listening to your music at full volume, you live for music that makes you feel alive. You’re definitely an adrenaline junkie if Rolling Loud is your festival of choice, and everyone would undoubtedly say that you’re the life of the party.
3. Outside Lands
You’re the cool one of the friend group – both nonchalant and unique and that certainly reflects in your music taste. You probably love a good underground indie band, and a Canadian tuxedo is surely a staple in your wardrobe. Outside Lands is your favorite time of the year, and in classic nature, you prefer foggy weather above all else.
4. Lollapalooza
If Lollapalooza is your favorite music festival, you’re a tried and true music lover. With stamina for days, you pride yourself on being able to easily make it through a 12+ hour festival day. Your music taste is doubtlessly the most diverse as there is no artist you haven’t heard of or listened to, and this only adds to the main character vibes that you effortlessly exude.
5. Bonnaroo
You’re an adventurer at heart with a free spirit, and what better place to channel that than at Bonnaroo. You probably prefer camping over your regular living arrangements and will never say no to an impromptu dance party. Regardless of Bonnaroo being your favorite festival, it more so happens to be just another one of your many intriguing sidequests.
Nowadays, there are more festivals than any individual could physically conceptualize. The analysis on these five are just an attempt on trying to pinpoint the various personas of the average festival-goer. I’d encourage you to find your new favorite festival this year – who knows, you might even discover something new about yourself too!
