I was a pile of folk festivals that ran exactly like this.
Starts at 9am? Fuck off early risers.
If I had the infinity stones, I would make it so that anyone that does anything “productive” (work,school etc) before 12pm poofs away into dust.
Let the morning people feel the pain of having to be awake and productive in your least productive hours for a change. God damn morning people shakes fist
No festival needs to go on longer than 7 hours, what are we, teenagers?
That sounds more like a concert in the early 2000s than a music festival
2 pm nap time, with couches and recliners.
I want a shady hammock grove.
You would love the south of Italy
Where I live is good. I’m an old man. I nap every day.
i’m not an old man and i’d love to nap every day
The music shouldn’t be too loud either.
Eh, just provide reusable earplugs to the crowd for a reasonable price. It won’t be as good as a custom molded pair of earplugs, but I’m sure a company like Eargasm would love to partner with a festival to sell from a merch booth. The thump of the beat is a large part of the concert experience, and reducing the volume would erode that.
I’m an audio technician, and I use earplugs at every concert I work. I get my mix dialed in, pop my earplugs in, and then I just pull them out occasionally to double-check that my mix still sounds alright. But to be clear, the vast majority of my mixing happens with earplugs. The days of rawdogging concerts is far past; even the talent uses in-ear monitors now.
There’s a reason all of the old rock stars are fucking deaf. Decades of stage monitors and guitar amps dialed up to 11, just to beat out the crowd noise. And the newer musicians have realized that they can get a much more accurate mix and protect their hearing, by essentially combining earplugs with monitors.
Every concert I’ve been to here in Switzerland has provided them free of charge. Always use them
Free earplugs, that’s communism! /S
Yeah, the issue with free earplugs is that they’re… Well… Cheap. It’s a trade-off where the cheap earplugs are uncomfortable and make everything sound super muffled, so people are less likely to actually use them. Even a mid-range pair of reusable earplugs will be a huge upgrade in comfort and quality.
To be clear, the free earplugs should absolutely be available regardless. But there should also be a way to get some decent earplugs at a decent price, for those who are less inclined to use the cheap ones.
Just as a person who would like to go to concerts, please for the love of good, realise that there is more to audio than just cranking bass to 11 and doing fuck all with the rest of the spectrum. Thump is part of the concert not THE whole concert.
I use earplugs these days. Lifesaver and I wish I did this all throughout my 20s. I took my earplugs out at the last event that I went to momentarily and I was shocked and how loud it sounded.
They had me at coffee. A music festival that’s just chill, low energy, sipping espresso or tea or hot cocoa, and listening to nice music all day. Why are there no vibe concerts, is that a contradiction?
Newport jazz festival
Jazz! Of course
I heard that comment in Jeff Goldblum’s voice
It’s in Germany, but check out https://herzberg-festival.com/en/information/. Pretty much fits your description.
In Germany there are Dub Techno concerts, which are kinda like this. But they’re usually late at night/early in the morning (more often the latter) and people are usually high on drugs. The music is great though! Check out Basic Channel
So like an after hours? In my experience those places are full of people who are way too high. The best of the best.
It might be safer to go inside and waste on a recliner? Please I don’t want to be the object of passive ire on social media when I stand at a festival.
Hey wait a minute, that’s just a grocery store.
I found out about hypoglycemia because I had an episode of it once. I thought I was just pooped from playing paintball all day; but it was because I didn’t eat anything at all that day.
If I ever get hungry to the point of nausea now, I don’t ignore it.
Borderlands festival in East Aurora New York. It’s not as inexpensive as the post requests, but it kind of fits the rest.
Old Settler’s Music Fest is 10a-8p each day. Kerrville Folk Fest is 8a to whenever, you can live there for two weeks if you want.
Daytime music festival crowds definitely skew older, and more people bring their kids
Are there chairs? Can we have some shade too?
I just don’t go to concerts without seating anymore. I drove from north Texas to New Orleans for a concert one time because it was the closest venue with seating. There was a show in my hometown, but no seating.
I can’t do a doors open at 7, then wait for the opener at 8, wait for 2nd opener at 8:45 or 9, then the main act might be on at 9:45, show ends midnight. All standing in a 1ft by 1ft square. It’s just torture.
better have extremely pleasant weather
$7 umbrellas, I’m not that worried about it
Ha! This was most folk music festivals from 1993 to 2006.
