Top 5 Popular Music Festival In Australia

It is only after spending a year in isolation that we realize the importance of having people around.

We, human beings, are social animals and thus we need to be a part of a community – to feel a sense of belongingness.

In the last year, we have missed parties, functions, ceremonies, shopping and so much more. We have forgotten the joy of being one in a crowd. Of everything else, another thing that we have missed the most are music festivals – somewhere we could feel alive as we danced to the rhythm of the collective effervescence.

In this new normal, music festivals are adapting to all the changes that are happening around us. Although music festivals look different, it is no less fun.

Music festivals have been a whirlpool of emotions. So many people coming together, humming to the same song, moving in the same rhythm – all connected through their love for music. That is the power that music festivals can channelise. After being away from it for so long, it is time to get back to the fun zone. Australian music festivals are pretty famous all over the world for their vibrant crowd, all-day fiestas, and the pure fun they offer. Located in venues as beautiful as vineyards, these festivals give you a holistic experience of music and a great ambiance. Good food and booze are definitely an add-on at that.

All through the last year, we hoped that we could be among people again – a luxury we had not been able to afford last year. However, as we embrace the new normal, we are finding new ways to do the old things. We are once again looking forward to the little pleasures of life that make us feel like we are a part of this global community – music being one of the strongest threads that connect us. Although the new normal might look different, it will at least happen. And after the year we’ve just had, if we know anything, it is to celebrate whatever little we have without taking it for granted.
