How to Enjoy a Music Festival: A Handy Guide  Categories: Lists
The Walkmen at Boston Calling It's June, which means we're smack
in the middle of music festival season: SXSW and Coachella are
distant memories at this point, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza are on
the horizon and New York City's own Governors Ball is set to
decimate Randall's Island this coming weekend. (Oh, yeah. And
our own 4Knots Music Festival.) Festivals are a fantastic place
to discover new music, run into like-minded friends-in-
rock/pop/hip-hop/etc. from out of town and witness a few never-
to-be-seen-again cameos and surprise appearances that can only
happen on that stage at that given moment.  Experiencing a good
festival lineup is like catching lightning in a bottle for an
entire weekend for the die-hard fans who come in droves. But
it's just as exciting and special for the douchebags who flock
to stadiums and fairgrounds. You need to be prepared. There's
lots to navigate. Fortunately, we're here to help.  See also:
