Not as much mud this year from the look of it.
I've never seen so many septum piercings or bad tattoos in one place.

Maybe they get to a point where they are not particularly bothered whose tent they are in!
My son was there a few years ago and would go again in a heartbeat.

That's what I was going to say They may not care or even notice! Can't say it's something I ever particularly wanted to do and I'm certainly not up for it these days!! I see that Kanye still managed to find his way to the stage but got a taste of his own medicine with an interloper jumping up beside him

The rows of beautifully neat, brightly coloured tents are very pleasing. The hotch-potch jumble of the others makes me twitch.
I've been to a couple of festivals locally, but they are near enough that I can get the bus home and sleep in my own bed. And I paid extra to use posh loos.

I'd be the same wellway, I'd love to go for the music and the atmosphere but no way could I handle sleeping in that jungle of tents or using the toilets...shudder! I attended one day of Leeds Festival a few years ago and it was awesome despite the rain, mud and Slipknot

OMG - that's seriously my idea of hell. No way, man - no music's that good! My favorite music festival has about 100,000 people over a 3-day weekend and is literally across the street from a Westin and a Sheraton. THAT'S the kind of party I can manage!

Y'know, there are about 150,000 MORE people THERE than in the whole of my county and the neighbouring county, which together cover about 2,500 square miles. Nightmare city.

The camping - and the toilets - would seriously freak me out. I would love to go, but I would need my own cordoned off area, with a proper bed, proper toilet, and full kitchen. Do you get that option when you buy your ticket?

Its fun living down the road from it - all the local schoola traditionally shut on the Friday (and some the Monday as well) as the children can't get to school due to traffic. Its very rural round here and the roads just can't cope with huge influx of traffic.

That's my idea of hell. The noise on a night and not being able to sleep, having to walk goodness knows how far in the mud (a friend from my hometown is attending, I just saw his posts on FB, every single person in mud caked wellies, and, where the heck do you put your wellies when you're sleeping in a tiny tent??), the bathrooms, which by the end of day 1 must stink so bad, the showers, or lack of them. Then ending it all stuck in traffic for hours and hours, getting home.
Yes, I'm an old grouch.

I was at a similar, but a lot smaller, festival in Denmark when I was 19. It was fantastic! But we made sure to go to the bathroom when we went in to the small town nearby, in cafès or shops. And we got our hair washed at a hairdresser and felt like a million bucks after No way I was going in to the communal showers! The thing I remember the most, was arriving at the tent area late at night. We went to show our tickets and to be let in to the tent area, and it was mostly dark all around. There was very little electricity in the tent area, and the concerts didn't start until the next night, so no lights coming from the stages either. So we're standing there, five of us sharing a tent, showing the guy our tickets. All we could really see was the ticket booth, a few of the closest tents, and a few of the cars in the parking right behind us. Then someone in the tent area decided to roar. And then apparantly, the whole damn tent area joined in that roar, and we were standing there in almost complete darkness hearing about 50,000 people roar and yell and cheer. That's when it dawned on us how big this place was. We were terrified Never ever doing anything like that again, but I am pretty damn happy for the experience And the amazing concerts!

I would totally do that! It looks amazing. What a beautiful setting. I attended my fair share of music festivals BK (before kids), including a (very) large number of Grateful Dead show. Good times...

The pictures do look amazing, but it's not something I've ever wanted to experience. Girl guide camping in the late 1970's could be the reason why

Amazing photos! TFS I would have be happy to rough it in my 20s but just can't do the sleeping on the ground anymore. The The Pop-up Hotel does look lovely, especially the Tenthouse Suite Muhgal Pavillion.

Not for me, but then again I don't do Burning Man either which is big up here in Tahoe since it's so close.

My pen pal (I've known her since I was in middle school) lives two miles from the festival!
There is absolutely no way I could handle all those people. Plus the toilet situation must be a nightmare....

I love the colorful striped peaked event tents tho, so nice! I never see those types around here, just boring white or grey, no matter what event it is.

Whoa, that's crazy. My daughter and I went to Stagecoach this year with some friends. That's 70,000 people and it was pretty overwhelming. My daughter and I got separated from our group before we could establish a meeting place or the spot we were going to camp for the day. We never found them. The next two days we made sure we found a spot to put all our chairs and blankets. They do have the place sectioned off so all you have to do is remember a letter and number of the area you're in.
