rock festival

Multi-band outdoor event

A rock festival is a large outdoor music event featuring multiple rock bands over one or more days.

Woodstock remains the iconic example, but the format has become standard for popular music generally: We're going to a rock festival this summer.

The atmosphere typically includes camping, crowds in the thousands, and a countercultural spirit.
