There's something for everyone
Rolling Loud Miami 2019

There are music festivals for practically every genre you can think of! Festivals like Coachella focus on a variety of genres (rock, pop, hip hop, EDM, etc.), while festivals like Rolling Loud focus on one genre (hip hop).
Make new friends
Music festivals are full of people who enjoy the same music as you; Why not get to know them? You can especially do this at festivals that offer camping, such as Firefly.
Instagram worthy photos
If you're all about having that perfect Instagram feed, a festival is definitely for you. There is often art and props to get your selfie on.
The food
If you're a foodie like me, you'll love the opportunity to check out the wide variety of food from dumplings and tacos to ice cream in a waffle... yum!
Dance your heart out
You get to leave all your worries behind for the weekend as you hear music from your favorite artists, while creating memories with your best friends.
More bang for your buck
Governors Ball NYC 2018

Rather than paying hundreds of dollars to see one artist in concert, festivals give you the opportunity to see multiple acts for possibly the same price. There's nothing like the rush of running from one stage to the next to catch each artist's set.

REZZ Rocks was a euphoric experience that I don't think I'll ever forget. On stage, REZZ wore her signature spinning light-up glasses and stood on a high-rise, center-stage, while an a kaleidoscopic light show happened behind her. This made her appear as a black silhouette for most of the show. Coupled with the light-up glasses for contrast, she appeared somewhat omnipotent and alien-like. She opened the show with songs "Kiss of Death," "H E X," and "Relax." Each song had the crowd more hyped than the last as she transitioned from each song with fire surrounding her on stage. Every time the beat dropped, 9,000 people at Red Rocks dropped with it and it felt so special to be a part of that crowd. The show ended with a surprise encore song from REZZ and fireworks to accompany it. The day following the show REZZ tweeted: "Not gonna get over last night for a long time. Couldn't explain how beautiful and connected I felt to the crowd & just knowing more than half of those people travelled to attend the experience is insane. Can't wait to throw more large cult events in 2020."
