Expectations Vs. Reality : What Really Happens At Music Festivals

Every music festival experience is preceded with a ton of expectations. In reality, very few of them actually come true.

The Sherp is here taking a walk down the path of grief –  chronicling all those expectations we ever had, that were unmercifully squashed by music festivals.

1. Expectation : You’d walk into the festival venue like a proverbial badass with untouchable swag.

Reality : This line

2. Expectation : You cannot wait to jostle through a crowd of music lovers for the best spot in front of the stage.

Reality: This depressing turnover


3. Expectation: You feel like your Coachella-inspired fashion is on point

Reality : But this is you


4. Expectation : You think you’ll meet some really cool people.

Reality : Creeps


5. Expectation : A truly rewarding camping experience

Reality : No leg space


6. Expectation : You want to have only a few drinks and a good time.

Reality : You stay sober throughout because the drinks are exorbitantly priced.


7. Expectation : A beautiful getaway from the city is expected

Reality : This abomination


8. Expectation : A wonderful substance-infused high.

Reality : You have no idea what’s going on


9. Expectation : You cannot wait to meet a festival soulmate

Reality : Your potential makeout


10. Expectation : You think you’ll come back with a lot of memories
