Festival fashion is a big deal! Go to your next festival in style with these clothes and fun accessories. Clothes and Shoes

One interesting aspect of festivals is that with the exception of the headliners, most of the daytime acts are totally shootable with nothing fancier than a kit lens and slower, variable aperture lenses. With a multiple full days of shooting, you’re going to want to have your camera’s batteries fully charged before the start of every day. An ultra-wide lens like the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 I use is great for capturing the atmosphere of festivals, and especially nice if performers leave the stage and get up close and personal with fans.Additionally, wide-angle lenses are fantastic for performers with more theatrical stage productions, where you really want to cover a large expanse of the stage and capture the full lighting rig, for example.Harry Styles performs onstage at the Coachella Stage during the 2022 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival on April 15 in Indio, Calif. Kevin Mazur/GI 1. Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Best Festival Overall There are a ton of different brands out there, but I think it’d be best to invest in a professional pair! David Martin, chief executive of the Featured Artists Coalition, a trade body representing the interests of musicians, said: “There’s an assumption that if you’re the person on stage, you’re financially safe. The artists in the middle are being squeezed. We should heed the warnings that we’re seeing from cancelled shows.” If you’re looking at earplugs for concerts, it’s likely for one of two reasons. Either your hearing is perfect and you’d like to keep it that way, or your ears have taken a battering over the years and you don’t want to make things worse and land yourself with tinnitus.

Not only do these dampen the decibels, but they also manage to let the sound in and don’t muffle live music like some foam plugs tend to do… and they stay firmly in place. In my opinion – and taking cost into consideration – having a set of these on hand when you head out to see live music is definitely worth it. It’s also worth pointing out that custom moulded earplugs can be priced higher than other earplugs due to their individual nature, with guidance suggesting that new ear canal impressions are taken every four years as your ears continue to grow as you get older. Are foam earplugs good? Festival boss, Melvin Benn, managing director of Festival Republic commented: "We are thrilled to announce the first wave of artists for Reading & Leeds 2024. I am very proud that the biggest artists in the world choose to play Reading & Leeds and to have three incredible UK festival exclusives – the electrifying Fred again.., a true generational talent Lana Del Rey and the legendary Blink-182. The iconic Liam Gallagher will return to play an all-time classic album 'Definitely Maybe' which will be a special moment indeed. Start times, the distance between stages, and the anticipated popularity of the bands arethe main factors for my planning. The latter point of popularity is especially important if the number of photographers is expected to be limited. Such was the case with Rage Against The Machine performing at Lollapalooza 2008, when only about 20 photographers were admitted to the photo pit out of 100+ shooters. Virtual reality gets a lot of buzz with sponsors because it lets them interact with attendees in a memorable way, thanks to cutting-edge tech. From 360-degree views of concerts or sporting events and beyond, VR can immerse attendees even deeper into experiences.

A midrange zoom here will cover your wide shots and is great for photographing fans and any instances where a performer may come down into the photo pit or onto the barricade. Fanbytes’ Harry says, “The last two years have transformed the digital marketing landscape, with the incredible rise of TikTok and the influence of content creators over the pandemic. To effectively engage with Gen Z, festivals need to freshen up their marketing mix and look to reach consumers in new ways.
