festivals
Festivals provide the ultimate experience for music fans; Beat is the next-best-thing to Woodstock, Coachella, and beyond.
Oh, to be at Woodstock
Driving through the biggest traffic jam I've ever seen, but persevering because I know what's on the other side. Standing in the rain, soaking it in, hearing the most incredible music played live in my midst, while surrounded by a music-loving, peace-loving crowd. Being covered in mud, but barely noticing, hardly caring. This is my dream.
Reese MariePublished 4 years ago in BeatDoes Glastonbury Festival Live Up to the Hype?
Let me start by saying this: I don’t usually attend festivals. I’ve tried, I’ve been to a few and they are just not for me. The £10 drinks, for a single? I’m sorry but it ain’t on. The crowds, the food (or lack of). The hours waiting around for the one act you actually want to see, with little else to fill your time without bankrupting yourself. Maybe I was doing it wrong or maybe I was unlucky in every experience. Regardless, my point is, this article isn’t a festival lover talking about her love of one particular festival. I am someone who doesn’t usually enjoy festivals and yet I will still say that Glastonbury truly lives up to its status as one of the greatest music festivals out there.

Half a century ago, droves of the Hippie youth congregated on a dairy farm in the town of Bethel, about a two hour drive from New York City, to bear witness to the music festival which has since become synonymous with peace, love and LSD.
Valentina CarrizoPublished 4 years ago in BeatI went to Warped Tour '18 and I knew nothing about it.
So my friend convinced me to go to Warped Tour because it was going to be the last tour and it was not that bad of a price. I went because he really wanted to go so I went with him because it was something really special to him. If you do not know what Warped Tour is, it's basically a Tour with many punk rock bands performing in one place. They have bands such as Sum 41, Bowling For Soup, Falling In Reverse, Black Veil Brides, Asking Alexandria, and many more. I have never been into punk rock. I only listened to pop music so this was way out of my scene. But I went anyway cause why not?

Johnny GarmesonPublished 4 years ago in BeatDid You Know Paul McCartney Recommended Jimi Hendrix for the Monterey Pop Festival?
Did you know that the Jimi Hendrix Experience came to play at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 because Paul McCartney suggested it to the producers? That’s right, McCartney had seen Jimi Hendrix’s band in England and was highly impressed with the trio. Originally, the music festival wanted the Beatles to play in it, but the English giants had already finished a tour and could not make it. So, McCartney came up with a great idea.

Upon the arrival of 2019, I had only two concerts booked for the year and I was certain that was (devastatingly) going to be the lot. However, on the back end of 2019, I have attended seventeen. Averaging at about £330, without the cost of merchandise at the venues. Yikes.

1. Les Dunes Electroniques Nefta, Tunisia http://www.dunes-electroniques.com/ Nov 16 - 17, 2019 Les Dunes Electroniques was founded in 2014 as a collaboration between the Ministry of Tourism and Handicrafts of the Republic of Tunisia. After three years away, the festival makes a welcome return in 2019 from September 21-22nd. The action goes down at Ong Jmel, near Nefta, at the gateway to Tunisia's southern desert—globally recognised as the setting of Luke Skywalker’s hometown, Mos Espa, in the original Star Wars franchise. This unique musical adventure will serve up 30 hours of uninterrupted music from the Tunisian, French and international electronic scenes with more than 30 artists on the bill.
