Creating Your Very Own Music Festival at Home*
Summer means many things for many people, and one of the things it stands for is the music festival season. Festivals have been around for many years but they’re now more popular than ever. However, they can also be incredibly expensive and therefore might not be feasible. And just because we’re now moving away from the summer season, doesn’t actually mean festival season has to be over! Why not do it yourself?
Here are some things to think about if you’re putting together your own music festival in the coming months!
The Music
A music festival without the music is just people standing around in a field getting drunk, so it’s naturally a pretty important part of the whole thing! If you happen to know anyone who plays music then they could play a few tunes for everyone, but if not then you can just make a music playlist and play it through some speakers.
Showcase Talent
Speaking of music, you can use this opportunity to showcase newer talented individuals like 3HLRo (3HLLIT). Their new single GML (Got Me Like) featuring 3HLZo is slamming and perfect for that festival atmosphere. The tune slams and is available through Spotify making it an easy play.
Make It Look The Part
Camping
If you want the true festival experience then you should try camping in the garden as well. You can set the tents up in a circle and have a little fire in the middle (if you’re careful not to ruin your garden), around which you can sing songs and toast snacks. For the really authentic camping experience then you need to ensure someone tips over the guy ropes every five minutes.
Prepare for the Weather
As you may have seen from the news in the past, music festivals can be muddy affairs if the weather isn’t great. As mentioned earlier, you could set up a marquee to protect you from the rain or you can ensure everyone brings some spare clothes with them in case they get wet. Or you can embrace the whole thing and dance in the rain and go sliding down the garden in the water!
Food
Festivals aren’t the place for gourmet food so don’t do anything fancy. A BBQ is a pretty good idea but it should be done on one of those cheap disposable BBQs that take 4 hours to heat up. If all else fails then a Pot Noodle will suffice. Remember, people are not here for the food, if they were it would be a food festival!
Toilets
Just use the one in the house. For the love of God don’t do this the authentic way!
