Idk why these gigantic overcrowded festivals still appeal to so many people. Do people still fall for that "the larger, the better" marketing?
It's too loud, too dirty, it's uncomfortable and overpriced. You get to see bands on stages that are too far away if you're not standing in the front rows hours before the concert starts. So you don't have any time to chill on the festival/camping grounds if you want to see more than three bands. Or you end up watching the concerts on large screens somewhere back in the crowd. Which would be much nicer without crowd, sitting on the sofa and watching in on TV at home.
Nail on the head. I've only gone to midsized festivals like rock the bells and Ozzfest back when that was a thing. I always left disappointed. I always miss a group I want to see because another is on another stage at the same time and then a lot of the performances are subpar likely because with so many bands there, I'm sure it's a fucking party backstage and everyone is wasted. Plus more crowds, traffic and higher ticket prices. Those were local level festivals that had tons of big names. I can't imagine traveling to a place, paying top dollar to camp in a fucking parking lot, and having little to no access to running water for 3 days for the "experience". Miss me with that.
