      If I had the infinity stones, I would make it so that anyone that does anything “productive” (work,school etc) before 12pm poofs away into dust.

      Let the morning people feel the pain of having to be awake and productive in your least productive hours for a change. God damn morning people shakes fist

      Eh, just provide reusable earplugs to the crowd for a reasonable price. It won’t be as good as a custom molded pair of earplugs, but I’m sure a company like Eargasm would love to partner with a festival to sell from a merch booth. The thump of the beat is a large part of the concert experience, and reducing the volume would erode that.

      I’m an audio technician, and I use earplugs at every concert I work. I get my mix dialed in, pop my earplugs in, and then I just pull them out occasionally to double-check that my mix still sounds alright. But to be clear, the vast majority of my mixing happens with earplugs. The days of rawdogging concerts is far past; even the talent uses in-ear monitors now.

      There’s a reason all of the old rock stars are fucking deaf. Decades of stage monitors and guitar amps dialed up to 11, just to beat out the crowd noise. And the newer musicians have realized that they can get a much more accurate mix and protect their hearing, by essentially combining earplugs with monitors.

        Just as a person who would like to go to concerts, please for the love of good, realise that there is more to audio than just cranking bass to 11 and doing fuck all with the rest of the spectrum. Thump is part of the concert not THE whole concert.

      I use earplugs these days. Lifesaver and I wish I did this all throughout my 20s. I took my earplugs out at the last event that I went to momentarily and I was shocked and how loud it sounded.

    They had me at coffee. A music festival that’s just chill, low energy, sipping espresso or tea or hot cocoa, and listening to nice music all day. Why are there no vibe concerts, is that a contradiction?

    Athens Porchfest in Georgia is like that. It’s noon to 8 pm and it’s about 200 bands performing on over 100 front porches across multiple neighborhoods - for free.

    The music festival starts when there’s enough people awake to run the sound gear.

    It goes until they fall asleep.

    It repeats until no one is available to work.

    The human concept of time is forgotten.

      I just don’t go to concerts without seating anymore. I drove from north Texas to New Orleans for a concert one time because it was the closest venue with seating. There was a show in my hometown, but no seating.

      I can’t do a doors open at 7, then wait for the opener at 8, wait for 2nd opener at 8:45 or 9, then the main act might be on at 9:45, show ends midnight. All standing in a 1ft by 1ft square. It’s just torture.
