SOLVE FESTISIA’S WORDLE

This month’s blog theme is the future of festivals. If you have an idea that would compliment well with the others, let us know:

• How global warming might be affecting festival cancellations, and what are the solutions?

• How to turn to the grass roots of festival culture in this digital age.

• More festivals are being cancelled as production costs are increasing. How can we ensure our favorite festivals and new festivals remain in the circuit?

• With more festivals on the rise, how can we efficiently choose which festivals to attend, old and new?

• What are the origins of PLUR and how has it evolved today?

We are also looking for submissions sharing a story or profile about a niche festival community. Check out examples of Frick Frack Black Jack, Bicycle Day, and Roo Bus for reference. Contact [email protected] ... Deadline to email is tomorrow by 11:59 p.m EST.

We update our NEW MUSIC playlist every Friday. Make sure to save it so you can see which fresh tunes we’ll have for you in the AM:

CALLING ALL ARTISTS, BANDS, DJS, AND PRODUCERS!
