How Social Media Lies To Us About The Perfection Of Music Festivals

It’s pretty great that we’re at a point in time where we can live through an experience to some extent even without actually being physically present. And after every major gig we see a boatload of these pictures on social media that make it seem like the most perfect place to be but that doesn’t hold true in the real world.

In pictures these festivals look like a dream come true and while it may still be that, the real thing doesn’t even compare to the pictures doing the rounds on social media. We compiled a list of moments you see on social media but are nowhere to be found when you enter these festivals.
