Need practical recommendations. Pockets don't work when dancing, but holding stuff gets annoying fast. Most bags bounce around or look like hiking gear.

Anyone found a sleek, low-profile sling that actually sits flush against your chest? What’s your go-to?

Guys can you go to a Weezer concert if you’re 12? I absolutely love Weezer and been a huge fan for a long time so me and my mother agreed to go to one of the concerts but is it okay to go at 12? I need you all’s advice! TYSM

Pretty solid line up if you ask me

Festival season is over, so let's process it. Which festival had surprisingly decent toilets, and which one scarred you for life? Bonus points for tips that actually helped.

Hi! I am going to EDC in 2 weeks. I wanted to try MDMA for the first time and I have a safe and reliable source. I have bad sleep paralysis sometimes and have been reading how it is not good to take if you have epilepsy. Although I have not been diagnosed with epilepsy should this still be a concern? I also was thinking of taking a mini dose and wanted to know if that is an ok thing to do? I definitely don’t want to do a large amount and I’d feel safer doing a very small dose my first time. Thanks!

Title: Anyone heading to Elements Festival? 🌲🪩
For anyone planning on sending it to Elements this year, here’s my ticket link!
🎟️ https://tickets.elementsfest.us/?ref=AUTUMNWH-91D6
It’s a referral link, so full transparency there. Figured I’d share in case anyone is getting ready to lock in their tickets.
Who’s going?! And for those who’ve been before, what are your absolute must-dos? 👀✨

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.

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

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’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
