music festival
Sprawling concert weekend
A music festival is a large event featuring multiple performers across one or more days, typically outdoors.
Festivals range from single-genre events like jazz or bluegrass festivals to massive multi-stage gatherings like Coachella or Glastonbury.
The experience often includes camping, food vendors, and a communal atmosphere: We're doing the music festival circuit this summer.
