It’s kinda hard for music festivals to ‘compete’ these days. All of them are basically the same, and most of them book the same acts. Music festivals must find effective gimmicks to make consumers feel like they are experiencing an inimitable event, available nowhere else in the universe. Also must make the festival ‘look sweet’ in pictures so that people who look at pictures think ‘wish i could be there… looks totes fun.’
Do u have any solid ideas for what makes a festival ‘appear 2 be’ hella ‘fun’?
Which of these gimmicks ‘makes’ a music festival better?
Should music festivals go to Home Depot to buy leaf blowers in order to make more ‘toilet paper’ shooters?

Releasing ‘beach balls’ to simulate a coastal environment?
Booking a college-themed partie DJ?
Releasing an ‘inflatable heart’ to represent ‘the human spirit’?
Having a ‘cityscape’ as ‘the backdrop’ ur music festival [via meaningful setting]?
Would ‘free weed’ make music fests better?
Have moms of kids who are at the festival host a ‘bake sale’ to make people feel younger & let moms feel like they are a part of their alternative child’s life?
Building a rollercoaster that goes over the mainstage?
Constructing a huge slip n slide for people to ‘fuck’ and ‘grind’ on?
Really just want to attend ‘the perfect music festival.’
Please share your creative ideas, and other stuff that would make a music festival seem ‘hella cool.’ Every business is struggling to survive, and business entities must get back in touch with consumers if they want to stay around forever [via govt bailout].
What makes a music festival ‘meaningful’ 2 u?
If u had millions of dollars to throw a music festival, how would yall ‘throw it down’?

@Lazaroc, I’m kind of hoping the whole site can turn into a giant ad, that way I won’t be tormented between authentic messages and corporate.

think that all music festivals should exist in an air conditioned bubble so that all the dudes at the festival dont get too hot while rocking out
feel this would also slow global warming since the bubble would have to be burst when the festival was over, therefore releasing a lot of cold air into the atmosphere
if there were enough of these air conditioned festivals we might even be able to stop global warming entirely with the power of love and music and music festivals

i got in a really long argument with 20 of my stoned bro friends in college one night 5 years ago. it was about whether or not phish is an Important Band–meaning, relevance, innovative noodling.
the arguing continued until finn, who had been snorting oxycotin all night, stood up and said “who cares? it’s just music and funness.”
maybe festivals aren’t meaningful; maybe they are just music and funness.
maybe oxycotin cupcakes would enhance the festival experience.

@jenna, Oxy isn’t very much fun at shows. I think the big festivals are getting too mainstream but there are lots of small ones popping up that are pretty cool.

carles, you need to have a son and name him “carles junior”
this would make any music festival about 4% more meaningful.
please get that done as soon as possible.
