What to bring to the festival. Getting ready for Dobrofest: yes - money, no - alcohol. What you can and cannot take with you What to take to a music festival
Europe hosts over 100 music festivals each year, attended by millions of people. Everyone can easily find a fest that best suits him in terms of genre. Europeans and Australians in general simply go crazy with such events, only in Russia it is by no means popular. Last summer I visited 4 major music festivals in Europe: EXIT, Sea Dance, Tomorrowland, Sziget. The emotions that I experienced are difficult to describe in words, videos or photos. This experience definitely affected my later life. In the article I will talk about what is so strong that touches such a huge number of people and makes them spend a lot of money and time on music festivals every year.
If you want to know how to go to Tomorrowland 2015 or Sziget 2015, join our company - fill out the form at this link.
Atmosphere of happiness
Think back to when you were at summer camp as a child. How many emotions did you experience there. It was like a small world in which you completely dissolved. Woke up with the same people every day for several weeks. We made friends and quarreled, played and worked. If you have ever participated in something like this, you will easily remember the highlights. Music festivals will allow you to have the same juicy and magical experiences that you once had as a child. Imagine that you will be with the same people for a whole week. Only this time they'll be out different countries peace! Moreover, you will have a common interest - performers that you all like! This morning you are lying on the grass with the Norwegians, having lunch with the Canadians in the afternoon, and in the evening you are having fun jumping under the Prodigy with the Australians. It's all thanks to music festivals!
1 reason: The atmosphere of the student camp. Again. And it doesn't matter that you are already well over 20! Get out of the gray days
100 to 1
What kind of music do you like? Electro? Rock? Or maybe Indy? Do you like Korn, Prodigy? Or is it Skrillex and Calvin Harris? How do you like this idea: to see ALL the concerts in one week? Music festivals will give you such an opportunity! You buy a ticket for the price of 2-3 concerts, and you watch 20! It is here that you can see those whom you danced at school discos or listened to when preparing for an exam 🙂 At the Hungarian Sziget, I first saw the Blink 182 group - those guys that I associate with my first relationships and school trips. As my friend Danya said: We are already old, but THEY are still young 🙂
Reason 2: See all your favorite artists at once
Enchanting Journey
How many emotions do you get from traveling on a trip to the sea? Lot? I think yes. But what does it depend on? From a beautiful place, a secluded place, from those PEOPLE that you meet. Sometimes it is, of course, noisy discos. At the music festival you will get everything at once in an extremely high dose 🙂 In total, more than 100,000 people gathered on one stage of the Belgian Tomorrowland. Can you imagine how much it is? 🙂 If not, watch the video on my channel How many people on Tomorrowland. Lots of friends. But along with this, you can always find a secluded place where you can spend time with new friends. Some festivals are located on the banks of rivers or reservoirs. So, the Serbian EXIT takes place in a fortress on the banks of the Danube, and Sziget on a huge island in the middle of the Danube! The entire island is dedicated to the festival. But no one forbids you to study the culture of the country where the festival takes place. This is a great chance to get to know such countries as Serbia, Montenegro, Hungary, England and others.
3 reason: Tons of new information about countries and new people will appear in your head. It will give you a lot of food for thought.
Love and gingerbread
I am sure each of you has many friends in your country. Would you like to have friends all over the world? Of course, you can travel, as I do, and at the age of 25 have friends in 50 countries of the world, but the lifestyle of a traveler is not suitable for everyone due to their interests. BUT! Why not go to a place where people come from all over the world! I assure you, after only 1 festival you will have at least +50 new acquaintances and +5 new friends. Minimum! I think, reading this article, you don’t even think about how you would react to the invitation of your new friend John to come to Monte Carlo or visit French Leon, and by the way, saying Milena, with whom you drank coffee at the festival, lives in a house with a view on the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Do I need to pay for it? Need! Friendship. There is no place for money here.
That's not all. You can find your love at a music festival... Do you think they are different? Do you think they speak a different language, so it will be difficult to communicate? Or do you think that no one will truly understand your “Russian soul”? Bullshit! You haven't even tried! Communication with Egyptian waiters does not count. All people are the same and everyone wants love. Based on my own experience of relationships with girls of other nationalities, I will say that love is the same all over the world. It is important to find your person. And no language can stop you. And as my friend Zhenya says: “The Russian language is very rich, so we can easily hurt another with a word, which we later regret. In English, you have to think before you blurt out swear words. They won't be as tough."
Reason 4: At the music festival you can find new friends with a common interest and even love 🙂
New discoveries
Not only will you definitely discover new favorite artists, but you can also radically change your life! New people, new places, new music creates a lot of new thoughts in your head. These are the very insights (insights) that “open your eyes”. You will see things from a different angle. You will suddenly realize that you love to sail when your new Swedish friend tells about his trip on the Baltic Sea, you suddenly decide to move with your family to Australia, because it turns out that nothing is holding you back, and with 10 Australian friends you have already planned a trip to the Great Barrier Reef 🙂
Reason 5: A music festival can drastically change your destiny. This is your chance to go beyond your ordinary world. Don't be afraid - it will be interesting 🙂
Phew. While writing, I again plunged into memories of my native Serbia, the warm sea in Montenegro, the most powerful sound on the main arena of Tomorrowland and wonderful nights in a tent on Sziget in Hungary.
One thing I know for sure - 2015 I will definitely return to Europe in the year to experience again that storm of emotions that does not allow me to sleep peacefully! 🙂
Also, if you want, we can go together. I decided to gather a group of like-minded people and go to festivals together. Most likely it will be Tomorrowland and Sziget. Oby festa is an orgasmic fierie. I will organize myself. If suddenly you understand that you want to be in our team, I will be happy to get to know you and tell you how we will proceed. To participate, you will need to pay a small registration fee. Tentatively, it will be a group of 20-30 people who will live together. I will open a new world for you 🙂
Very soon, not far from Yaroslavl, the eighth festival of music and entertainment "Dobrofest" will take place.
You can understand the musical component by looking at the schedule of performances on and stages, as well as getting to know the participants by entering their names in the YouTube search bar. Today we will talk about non-musical activities, we will talk about 5 things that you definitely need to do on Dobrofest 2017.
1. Play baseball on the Championat.com playground
The sports innovation at the festival is a large baseball field for those who dreamed of hitting the ball just like in American movies. Professional players will teach you the basics of baseball - how to hold the bat, how to hit. A special cannon will serve the balls, and the player's task is to hit as many balls as possible in one series of "shots" of the cannon. Professional equipment and protective ammunition - everything for you!
2. Take a dip in the Meizu pool
Major manufacturer of electronic gadgets Meizu will present at "Dobrofest 2017" attraction, which has not yet been at Russian festivals. A large pool with plastic balls that you can dive headlong into and win a prize. The company's promo area will also have free charging for your phones, championships in Fruit Ninja Classic and drawing of 2500 prizes.
3. Watch the jam sessions of the festival participants and get an autograph
Thanks to "Muztorgu" and Roland at "Dobrofest 2017" there will be a new musical activity. Garage Band is a playground for all those who are interested in making music. During the three days of the festival, this pavilion will host a number of jam sessions and autograph sessions with participants "Dobrofesta 2017". In order to play with your favorite artist, you need to record a short video of your playing a musical instrument and send an application for participation. The musicians are engaged in the selection of colleagues in the "new groups" on their own. Look for details on the social networks of the festival.
So, for example, on June 30 from 19:30 to 20:30 in the Garage Band tent there will be autograph session groups "Pilot".
4. Pretend to get married at a festival
Registry office at Dobrofest is already an integral part of the festival. This year all ceremonies will be held in the style of LOVE, BEER, ROCK "N" ROLL! "Wedding Glade" will work for 3 days, the schedule of "paintings" has already been almost drawn up, but there are also free places. A certificate of the ceremony, various souvenirs for the "newlyweds", express makeup and styling for the bride, stylized decorations and costumes, a photo session - there will be everything on the field to fill this moment for a long time!
5. Eat at the food court
Speaking of development" Dobrofest", you can not ignore the gastronomic part of the festival. This time even more food trucks will come to Levtsovo. Burgers, wok, homemade lemonades, gyros, kebabs, pizzas and pies - a variety for every taste. On the festival there will be a fast food cafe "Mu Mu", which is loved by many Muscovites for its quality home-cooked food and affordable prices. Recommended!
"Dobrofest" is a large festival of high-quality live music in the genres of rock, alternative, punk and hip-hop, which has been held near Yaroslavl every summer since 2010. Every year the event is visited by up to 17,000 spectators from 40 regions of Russia, as well as Ukraine, Belarus and far abroad. "Dobrofest" a democratic atmosphere is characteristic - there is no division into a fan zone and VIP sectors. Up to 70 musical groups perform on two stages, and there are also various zones of non-musical activities: sports and playgrounds, souvenir shops and themed stands. A whole city with its own infrastructure grows on a huge area: food points, showers, a left-luggage office, phone charging stations, a paramedic's station, dry closets and even a post office and a personal registry office, as well as much more that is necessary for a fun and comfortable stay Three Days and Two nights. In 2017, the Dobrofest festival will be held on June 30, July 1 and 2 at the Levtsovo airfield, 17 km from Yaroslavl.
In Helsinki, the traditional Afisha Picnic, which has grown on the scale of Park Live, the Parisian Rock en Seine and other events. Buro 24/7 tells you how to prepare for a music festival in order to make your time there as comfortable as possible.
Print the program in advance and mark the necessary performances in it
Yes, line-up programs are often handed out at the festivals themselves, but it would be better if you print out the order of the musicians' performances on all stages of the festival in advance in order to have time to decide who you will go to and what time to come. Keep in mind that it may happen that two of your favorite artists will play at the same time and you will need to choose which one to go for. Also remember that it is better to arrive in advance, because a queue may well form at the entrance, and it takes time to take good places at the stage.
Print your tickets
If you have e-ticket, print it out just in case. In no case do not post tickets on social networks so that the barcode or QR code is visible.
If you are traveling abroad
If you have just received a visa for the sake of going to the festival, most likely you already have all the most important things - plane tickets, insurance, accommodation reservations and, in fact, the visa itself. If you plan to travel on a visa that you were given for a long time some time ago and for another trip, then you need to purchase all this (yes, you should not disdain insurance either). Buy the currency of the country in which the festival takes place. Study the area where the event is taking place: how to get there from your accommodation, what is near the site, what is near your temporary home, and so on. Get a guide, especially if you plan to stay in another country longer than during the days of the festival.
Check out the list of
what not to bring to the festival
Everything that cannot be brought to the festival, the guards will force you to throw it out at the entrance or take it to the storage room (the Flow Festival definitely has such). Perhaps among these things there will be nothing that is dear to your heart, but still it can spoil the impression of the event. So, now you can’t bring alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and professional photographic equipment to almost any festival, and you definitely can’t come anywhere with weapons and drugs. There are other restrictions as well. For example, you can’t bring selfie sticks on Flow (thankfully).
Take something to sit on
right on the ground
Most festivals have special seating areas with ottomans and sun loungers, but as a rule, there are always fewer of them than visitors, so it’s better to make sure that you sit comfortably in advance. It can be a blanket for a large company, travel rugs or seats, and folding chairs are allowed somewhere (for example, at the Afisha Picnic).
Stock up on cash
It is absolutely certain that not all festival outlets with food and goods will be equipped with terminals for paying with bank cards, so stock up on cash. It also makes it easier to control your spending. However, there will also be points with bank cards, so if you don’t have time at all, then don’t be discouraged. If you buy drinks at the Flow festival, don't throw away the bottles - there you can return them to special collection points, and for each bottle you will receive one euro (this deposit is included in the price of all drinks at the Flow site).
Take your identification documents
Just in case, it is better to have some documents proving your identity with you - a passport, driving license, and so on. They may not be useful to you, but it is still better to take them with you.
Stock up on wet wipes
You will spend the whole day outside. Perhaps in the rain or in crazy heat, so bring wet wipes with you just in case - antibacterial and some for the face.
Don't forget your portable phone charger
A power bank is a must-have accessory for today's festival goers, because you'll probably be filming a lot with your phone and it'll run out of power before the headliner comes out. There are also charging stations for all kinds of phones at festivals, but queues can form for them, so it's best to rely on yourself.
Bring a raincoat and a sweater or jacket
You never really know the weather, so even if you're going out for the festival on a sunny day, it's still worth bringing a raincoat with you if you don't want to get wet. It can get chilly in the evening, in which case you'll need a jacket or sweater or light jacket. Of course, if it is very hot outside, then you can do without “extra equipment”.
Bring sunscreen with you
Get ready not to do the following things:
Do not sing along loudly to your favorite performers while in a crowd of spectators: they came to listen to a musician they also like, not you.
If you move closer to the stage, then do not stand in front of people shorter than you: they also want to see at least something on the stage, and not your back.
Do not wear things that are too dear to your heart: you should not be sorry to take your clothes in the mud, put grass or juice stains on them and soak them through in the downpour.
Do not smoke in a dense crowd - it is still inconvenient, it will be unpleasant for someone, and then the mother will scold someone underage, suspecting of smoking (and this can also threaten adults). Step aside.
The season of music festivals begins in Moscow: this weekend there will be a three-day "Park Live" at VDNH, on July 5 - "SVOY Subbotnik" in Gorky Park, and there the "Afisha Picnic" is just around the corner. In anticipation of long outdoor music weekends, we recall simple rules that will help you survive any festival. Are you going to Flow, Melt! or Exit, following this list of tips, you will definitely not faint from heat, hunger or an eating disorder, and also easily solve the age-old question “what to wear”.
Text: Daria Tatarkova
1
Follow the crowd rules
The concert crowd has its own simple rules to remember. Simple logic dictates: do not climb on those who are slamming near the stage, and then complain about the pushing people. You will not be pushed only on the condition that you will stand in the distance on a hillock, and even that is not a fact. No need to sit on someone's shoulders: you can see, but not a dozen people behind you, and you will get off, hitting, as luck would have it, a pair of snow-white T-shirts of music lovers in the neighborhood. Well, the good old - think about the hair: for the time of the crowd, remove it at least on your shoulder, so that the hungry person behind you still has a bite to eat in the food court, and not the crowd, and remember this simple rule the next time you dismiss them during rush hour on the subway. Also keep an eye on your personal belongings - you should not tempt thieves with an open backpack. Bad stories happen, so it's best to be careful around a lot of different people.
2
Protect yourself from the weather
Dress for the weather, not the season, even if it's 10 degrees outside and Coachella photos keep you awake. If it’s cold, put on your favorite warm sweatshirt, if the sun is scorching, don’t forget to cover your head so as not to get a sunstroke (it’s better if it’s not a black baseball cap, then you won’t be in danger of heat). In the evening it will certainly become much cooler - keep this in mind when packing your backpack. If there is even the slightest chance of rain, grab a raincoat, and if it happens in the park, you should probably consider opting for rubber boots, since the Hunter remains a festival hit from year to year. Leave your umbrella at home - many festivals even ask you to hand it in at the entrance. In addition to the fact that he interferes with others, you yourself will be uncomfortable with him, buy a cool raincoat instead.
3
Protect yourself from yourself
Collect a mini first aid kit and pack it in a separate cosmetic bag. Make sure you have a cure for a headache, indigestion (maybe you'll get lucky in the food court), a couple of healing patches for corns (seriously, this is a brilliant invention), and - most importantly - a disinfectant gel and wet wipes. The gel may not save you from 100% scary microorganisms, but you don't need to. If you're really concerned about hygiene, then prepare yourself a set of mini-soap and a bottle of water: nothing cleans like washing your hands.
4
Think again about shoes
Let it be shoes according to the weather and be sure to have flat soles, although if you have never worn anything more comfortable than Jeffrey Campbell platforms, and you are sixty meters tall, this is your lucky day. Do not wear new shoes, even if they are sneakers - it would be foolish to deprive yourself of the opportunity to jump at the stage after an hour of walking in shamelessly rubbing boots. Opt for old comfortable sneakers or sneakers - these are the perfect shoes for a not too wet festival, which will protect your feet from dirt, insects, cold, but most importantly - from other feet. True, do not be surprised if this will be the last appearance of the couple in the light.
5
Turn on the control freak
and don't forget your smartphone
Subscribe to the festival on instagram, facebook, contact and download the official application of the event. Plan in advance which sets you are going to, especially if the venues are scattered around the city. Stay tuned for updates and cancellations, for sure one of the artists will miss the plane. In order not to lose friends and enjoy the elusive 3G, do not forget an extra battery.
6
Give up makeup and better
think about care
Obviously, even if it is cloudy outside, do not forget about. You can also take some light moisturizing body gel with you if your skin is prone to dryness. Festivals often take place in the parks, so be sure to use before you plunge into the musical life. The best makeup for the festival is minimal and waterproof. Although if you want to demonstrate to others the black stains of mascara from your tears and how much you were impressed by your favorite group, good for you. Everyone else will benefit from matting wipes and a light mineral base, they will help get rid of excess shine during the day.
7
Don't litter
We all care about the environment, we are very careful, we eat only organic products, and we sort the garbage, but after the festivals, the parks are still filled with mountains of this garbage for some reason. Please just throw it in the trash. If you are in a country that recycles waste, pay attention to how plastic, paper, organics are sorted and follow the instructions (or spy on the locals after all).
8
Drink more water
Taking care of yourself doesn't end with the above: be sure to eat well at your local food market, for sure there will be cool eateries with good street food. If you can bring water to the festival, then be sure to take a large bottle with you, and if you can’t, then look for free ones, most likely they are handed out. This amount of activity, jumping around the stage, and especially in the heat, the body will be terribly dehydrated, so drink more. Do not be afraid of dry closets (as a result): if you have a disinfectant gel and wipes, you don’t care.
9
Know when to stop
In the spirit of the previous point - do not get drunk until you lose your pulse. Visitors to Glastonbury and Exit will not agree with us, but still dose alcohol if it is available, you will have more fun - you will see the bands for whose concerts you paid a lot of money, and you can even remember their performances the next day.
10
Be smart at the merch booth and don't forget the sponsorship bounty
Merchandising bands and local markets with everything in the world is, of course, cool. But keep in mind that the prices of most products at festivals are unreasonably high, so be smart when throwing yourself at festival T-shirts, for example. It is better to choose one, but the coolest. But the free little things that sponsors give out can be very useful: most often these are eco-bags (in addition to festival supplies, you will later go for groceries), earplugs (many people listen to concerts this way, earplugs cut off excess noise) and raincoats (why haven’t you bought your own yet? ?).
11
Do not try to do everything -
plan wisely
In the list of concerts, there must be your personal break or several if you know that you tend to get tired quickly. Accept the idea that you won't be able to see absolutely everything and it's not scary at all. Take time to eat and immediately decide which of the two simultaneously playing performers you go. Festivals give false hope that you will finally see all your favorite performers at once, but you should not go with such an attitude, otherwise the event will turn out to be a complete disappointment for you. The main thing - do not bite your elbows, if suddenly you realize that you made a mistake with the choice - feel free to step to another stage.
For the most anticipated concerts (by you personally or if you are chasing headliners), come early if you want to be at least relatively close to the stage. The rest is shameless to listen to and a little aside, sit on the grass or just don't try to get into the crush - save your energy for your favorite bands. At the end of the crowd or from the side, you can usually see much better than from its middle.
13
Leave the kids at home
Don't take the kids if you want to hear as many performances as possible. Of course, parents will figure it out even without us, just don't have any illusions about festivals. They are undoubtedly designed for children as well, but it will still be easier with the little ones to engage in local entertainment like frisbees, kites, or even exploring food stalls, rather than patiently watching several concerts in a row in one place. For children, calmly or even with pleasure listening to concerts (well, or running nearby during them), earplugs will come in handy even more than you.
14
Chat
At festivals, people are usually much more than usual, relaxed and disposed to non-binding chatter - the atmosphere in the end is conducive. Feel free to discuss with your neighbor the concert that has just taken place, it is very possible that in this way you will find a new friend - which is especially nice when it comes to a festival in another country.
The Dobrofest-2017 festival died down at the Levtsovo airfield near Yaroslavl from June 30 to July 02. We were waiting for three days that flew by like one. Three days that gave many people something new - new musical discoveries, new acquaintances, fresh emotions, new experience. Did you come to Dobrofest for the first time or did you end up there in nth time, it was impossible not to feel the special energy of the festival. And, perhaps, everyone took a piece of it with them, making a promise to carefully preserve this unique feeling - maybe until next year, or maybe forever.
The third day. Two o'clock in the afternoon. Offsite parking.“Do you know why I love Dobrofest?” - asks his new friend a slightly rumpled and smiling lover of the Gaza Strip. “It's not even about the music. The atmosphere here is so high that I don’t even have anything to compare it with. Here I CAN be myself.” A company of adults dressed in bright T-shirts with their favorite bands and funny prints seems to be preparing to leave. But the party doesn't stop, and everyone but the stoic packing driver drinks vodka or beer and dine by the open trunk.
People are scurrying around every now and then: someone has already changed into clean clothes, is ready to go home and is looking for a ride; others, smeared with clay almost from head to toe, move from car to car and offer to go clinking glasses in the end. As on the first day, the sounds of very different music are heard from everywhere - from fashionable to folk. Time is frozen. No time. Dobrofest-2017 will last forever.
First day. Five thirty in the morning. Parking. Approaching the territory of the festival, we note that we are far from being the first. Someone was impatient to get to the festival as soon as possible, so they arrived early. Others, on this night, which flowed into a clear morning, got stuck in Pereslavl-Zalessky in a many-kilometer traffic jam and met a beautiful dawn on the way. Despite the early hour, the cool air is already animated. These people could be watching their tenth dream now and get up for work in a couple of hours, but they are here, at the old airfield near Yaroslavl, and the outside world is the last thing they care about. People get to know each other, someone is already starting to drink, and, of course, it's not without music.
The album rumbles furiously next to us: their performance is scheduled for Friday afternoon. Between the multiplying rows of cars, the voice of Mikhail Gorshenev is now and then heard: it is impossible to imagine Dobrofest without KiSha, and on Saturday morning, despite heavy rain, it will make a huge crowd sing familiar songs from childhood. This is how the memory of a dear friend and beloved artist of hundreds of thousands of people is kept.
Also in the playlists are noticed, Distemper and a dozen more different bands that will perform or have already been noted at the festival. This is how the day of several hundred people who came to Dobrofest for the opening begins. This is how the holiday itself begins, which is undoubtedly destined to become a highlight of this summer and go down in history.
F.P.G. 
Speech by Prince 
LaScala performance
Second day. Eight thirty in the morning. Tent camp near the Red Stage. Where else can you wake up not from the sound of an alarm clock, but from the voice of the LaScala vocalist, who, together with her colleagues, rebuilds the sound? Perhaps nowhere (unless, of course, you are a close friend of the beauty and did not stay overnight in her hospitable house). After an invitation to come to the group's performance in the evening of the same day, a cover version of The Pogues song - Tuesday Morning suddenly sounds from the stage. And although today is far from Tuesday, and a beautiful and eventful Saturday is still ahead, this track performed by the Brotherhood of Non-Drinking Virgins is listened to especially comfortably and at home.
You wake up in a field, right there in a row are houses on wheels, and a gang of children is already running around. But the chords of an old song from the 1990s suddenly take you to the same cool and gray morning somewhere in Ireland. It's time to wrap yourself in a blanket, blanket or sleeping bag and go in search of hot tea. Better yet, drink the broth. Music and entertainment await!
First day. Late evening. Green scene. After a day full of various music, after a change in the weather (how can you do without rain at Dobrofest?), after a hundred actions to strengthen and furnish their temporary dwellings (or find a new shelter because your tent was flooded), several thousand people sing " Siberia”, standing at the Green Stage. Merging in a single impulse, we honor the group and get stuck in the clay. But the last fact is not really important. Tomorrow we really have to knead the mud, and today we are all wearing “torn sneakers”, “torn socks”, and maybe nothing, because it’s easier to walk with a “bare foot”.
In the intervals between songs, sounds are heard from the Red Stage: there the group makes their show traditionally powerful, fun and sincere. And a little later, between the tents, the favorite phrase “Laughter is shit!” will fly as a roll call, and a tired, hoarse voice in the morning will lonelyly roar to the chords of a detuned guitar the invocative line “Suck me, don’t be shy.” And if you walked until dawn and just went to bed, then following to your lodging for the night and hearing this singing, you sincerely wish this person that his request be fulfilled. To whom she would not be addressed.
The third day. Eleven am. At the pavilions between the Green and Red stages. Despite the cold, sometimes chilling to the bone, people stand and wait for the final lottery draw, in which you can win a phone and a lot of other prizes. Someone hopefully sorts through the cherished flyers with numbers, and he has a whole fan of them. Someone complains that the "Angel of Heaven" group has already started its set, and there is nothing to catch here. But after literally ten minutes, the crowd, with loud, playful comments, heeds the voice of a company representative, and then, when two people still receive the coveted gadgets, they begin to stretch out their hands to catch their valuable gift. Some kind of wild excitement descends on people, and they bounce every now and then when the treasured boxes and bags soar into the air.
However, excitement did not leave the festival all these days. With excitement, we took the blows of the elements, coming up with more and more new ways to escape from it - from the almost complete rejection of clothes and shoes to the creation of futuristic windings and clothes from anything possible. With excitement they went swimming, jumping and slamming in front of the stage: where, if not at Dobrofest, will you meet a young man in shorts and with an inflatable dolphin, boldly setting off for a mud swim? With excitement, we drove here from various regions and cities. No less excitement was required to get home safely. But what exactly was not in this excited state of mind and body was aggression. And confirmation of this has repeatedly sounded from the lips of people.
In fact, this way you can endlessly alternate flashbacks, again and again returning to these bright moments that happened over three days. You can talk separately about people and their emotions, or you can talk about music (which is what we actually decided to do in the second article). And the most interesting thing is that in the memories of people, the Dobrofest-2017 festival will be different for everyone. Someone will tell you how they discovered a wonderful Japanese band on the first day. And someone never saw them, because they went badly together with the Khleb team. For some, a trip to Levtsovo could happen in one day, but for some, the festival has not ended even today. Some people will tell you that they don't remember some days at all because they were drunk, slept well, were tired, or just didn't make it to the stage. But there is hardly anyone who will say that he did not like the festival at all: from experience, this does not happen with Dobrofest.
And all these emotions, stories, opinions and responses, all these are parts of history, pieces of a big puzzle that we put together. And to be perfectly honest, this giant picture is definitely a success.
