Things People Say At A Music Festival Vs. What They Actually Mean

The jig’s up, guys.

Music festivals tend to test us in ways that we cannot predict. Sometimes, its just copious amounts of beer that gets us through and sometimes even that does not help. We do a lot of things we wouldn’t do in our normal lives and most importantly say a lot of things we totally don’t mean. But that’s all fine, isn’t it? Because that’s the magic of festivals! You can get away with shit like that!

So finally here is THE comprehensive list on things we say vs. things we what we really mean during a festival!

1. ‘I love going to festivals for the music.’

Translation: I love going to festivals because that is the only place I can see the hottest girls, get shit faced, puke all over the place and resume life later as if nothing happened. I mean, after all that’s what all music festivals are about. Right?!
