Everyone loves a music festival, right? What’s better than getting out in the sun with your best friends to listen to your favourite music for an entire day or even an entire weekend? From camping out in the twilight, to just chilling and sharing laughs with your friends over by the food trucks, it’s paradise.
Well, maybe if it’s well organised. When it’s not, then it can be one of the most torturous and frustrating experiences one can imagine. While Australia has a pretty good track record with providing a pleasant and enjoyable experience for punters, occasionally there’s those outliers that you’ll always remember for all the wrong reasons.
This recent and hilarious video from CollegeHumor looks into that other, rather unfortunate side of the festival experience, one that some of us will sadly find very relatable. You know the events that just seem mismanaged and ill-conceived on virtually every level, to the point where you think the whole thing is some awful hallucination?
This video, which readers can check out below, simply nails it, touching on everything from the 16-hour traffic delays and folly of holding an event in a town not equipped to handle a large-scale festival, to spending “three hours waiting for one fat, aggressive security guard to feel you up and take your drugs”.
