Festival Review Guides

You may not have heard of a ‘review-guide,’ because I created the concept myself. My festival review-guides are half a review of my experience at a festival, and half a guide to help you prepare for yours.

My festival review-guides all follow a similar, 18 category format, which breaks the festival down into every tiny thing you could want to know about it.

These articles are my honest answer to everything I would have wanted to know before attending a certain festival, that you can’t find anywhere else online.

Festival Type

As festivals can be SO different from each other in SO many ways, it’s impossible to classify them all in the same place.

On this website festivals are divided into 4 different categories:

Mainstream/Massive Festivals are those with world-renowned artists across multiple genres that would generally appeal to a very broad audience. VIEW ALL POSTS

Transformational Festivals are defined in that they have much more than just a lineup of music – they have art, yoga, seminars, workshops, smaller shows, and more. They often promote certain values to uphold, sustainable living, healthy lifestyles, and personal growth and ‘transformation’ as a whole. They will often be rather psychedelic in their artforms, deep in their music, and open-minded in their attendees. VIEW ALL POSTS
