playing on another stage? You cannot be two places at once. Music festivals
such as Coachella

music of all different genres. A$AP Rocky, Calvin Harris and The Killers are
amongst the variety of artists that you will see in these music festivals. The
two or three day festival gives an experience to a variety of people of
different cultures that will usually fly from other parts of the world to get
the live
experience of their favorite artist playing old an new music galore. However, it is hard to be at so many places at the same time and sometimes you find yourself meeting new people, or just realizing that the set the artist is playing is so good you get stuck dancing at the one stage while there is another stage on the other side of the park with another of your favorite artist playing.
