Get dirty at a festival? Not muddy likely!
MUSIC-loving snowflakes hate getting muddy at festivals and would prefer a nice spa treatment instead.
Standing in a swampy field watching band after band is not millennials’ cup of tea.
And 70% of those polled said they would prefer to enjoy dining out experiences and local tours while on site.
Other festival-goers would like to learn skills such as playing an instrument, cooking and skiing when not watching groups.
But several hate it when it rains or if they see litter and insects among the grass.
Cosmin Sarbu, head of Admiral Travel Insurance, which carried out a survey of 2,000 attendees, said: “While a lot of people go to a festival to see their favourite bands, many also go for the atmosphere, a new location and other activities.
“It’s important for festival-goers, particularly firsttimers, to find the right one for them to fully enjoy the experience. For an event which lasts on average a few days, there’s a lot of planning beforehand such as how to get to the festival, what to wear and how much to budget.”
Some Brits would also rather not stay in a tent, saying they’d prefer to crawl into a comfy hotel bed or even head to a log cabin at the end of a day of partying.
And the perfect time for their heads to hit the pillow is 12.47am.
Cosmin added: “Festivals are no longer just for music – there’s huge diversity in festival types, from skiing and comedy events to food and literature festivals. “All this choice makes it even more important to make sure you’re heading to the right festival for you – location, atmosphere, cost and activities on offer are all part of the experience.”
