20 Problems Only Music Festival Goers Will Understand
12. Lead Singers Talk Too Much
Okay, you've pitched your tent, smuggled an inordinate number of cans into the arena, and found a decent spot at the Main Stage. It's time to ROCK AND ROLL! But first the frontman has some serious political issues to get off his chest. Either that, or he and the lead guitarist are going to crack jokes about each other's sexuality in between every song. Don't think you can escape this by going to the dance tent. DJs might not talk as much, but they'll ask you if you're feeling good at exactly two minute intervals. Your first answer will never be loud enough for them.
11. "Alright, We're Going To Play A New Song Now."
"We weren't going to play it, but you guys have been so awesome we just HAD to." You lucky people. There's no way around the awkwardness of a new song. The band will launch into it just as enthusiastically as all their greatest hits, but nobody will know the words and crowed energy will be halved. The singer will ask if you all enjoyed it afterwards, and you'll all lie.
