Festival Tips Music festivals are a great way to check out your favourite bands and to get to know new bands. There is nothing better than enjoying a few days with your friends out of town and listening to great music. Most sell out quickly, so decide whether to go before the tickets go on sale. Some sell out within a day, e.g. Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festival. Others sell within a couple of weeks, e.g. Big Day Out and Future Music.

BringEnough Cash Check the tickets to see what you can take. You’ll probably have to buy overpriced food and water. Most festivals have ATM facilities but expect to line up.
