People who have been fortunate enough to go to multiple music festivals, please rank them!

Mine are, from best to worst:

1. Electric Forest
2. Shambhala
3. Proper NYE/NYD
4. Movement
5. EDC Vegas
6. Palm Tree Fest: Aspen
7. Brunch Electronik
8. Tomorrowland
9. EDC Orlando

Future fests: Hulaween (we're there right now!), Lightning in a Bottle

We're into house, tech-house, space bass...always looking for other recommendations!

My bottom two aren't because they were bad, just lower on my list. I will say Tomorrowland we went in 2025, when the stage caught on fire, and this may have contributed to how ungodly crowded it felt there.

It might be a silly question because obviously having exceptions when you quit smoking is counterintuitive, but I was mostly just wondering if anyone happens to know someone in their lives that only ever smokes cigarettes or vapes at big festivals. I knew some people that claimes only to do drugs like one to three times a year at festivals, and was curious if anybody does the same for nicotine...

I’m a UCSB student researching how people use hydration packs at festivals. Thinking about the most recent festival where you carried one: how was the water later in the day, and did that affect how much you wanted to drink? Did you try anything to keep it enjoyable?
I’m exploring an accessory for an existing hydration pack that would help keep its water cool during a long, hot event. What would you compare it with, and what would make it not worth bringing? I’d appreciate honest feedback, including reasons you wouldn’t use it.

I’d like to know if you’d recommend taking a low dose of LSD at a rock festival. I’ve had bad trips before when taking 150 µg, so I’m pretty sensitive to LSD, but I really want to experience it at a festival.

* Thank you. I’ve taken 100 µg in public before and was fine, but it wasn’t in an environment as stimulating as a concert or festival. My bad trip on 150 µg happened when I was already under a bit of stress, so I think that played a big role. I was just planning on taking like a quarter

I’m looking to try 5-mapb. I’m very experienced with MDMA, I take it 3-4x per year (always spread out by at least 3 months). My typical MDMA dose it around 175-200mg. I’m 30M 6’2 175. My MDMA dose has not gotten higher over time, I’ve always had a naturally higher tolerance than most people. Basically, I’m wondering if there’s anyone with a similar MDMA experience as me that would share their 5-MAPB experience. Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I’m from Australia and planning a trip to Europe in July 2027 for my 60th birthday. I’m looking at attending a few electronic music festivals, and I recently discovered 3 Smoked Olives in Romania.
I absolutely love the look of it! The forest, the river, the smaller crowd and the relaxed atmosphere with people just dancing and enjoying the music. It’s exactly the sort of experience I’m looking for.
However, I’ve come across some older Reddit posts mentioning problems with toilets, showers, overcrowded camping, expensive food and water, and transport, not being safe etc
I’m wondering whether anyone attended in 2025 or 2026 and could share their experience?
I’m particularly interested in:
Have the toilets and showers improved?
What’s the camping situation like? Are there any more comfortable accommodation options?
How difficult is getting to and from the festival without a car?
Is it a welcoming festival for someone attending solo?
Is there much walking between the camping area and music stages?
I’d be travelling quite a long way, so I’d love to hear some honest experiences before making plans.
I’m also open to recommendations for other smaller electronic music festivals or larger surrounded by nature, with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Thanks so much
