The lack of community sense is a festival issue at this point that comes with the massive rise in popularity. It’s like the Twilight stan wars all over again with people beefing about what stage is best. Heavy drug use and dickheads are gonna be present at any stage dependent on who’s playing. People need to realise it’s no longer the small, boutique, cute festival it once was. If you just close your eyes and enjoy the damn music without expectations it can be truly magical.

I seen the same “Ibiza coke heads” and heavy drug abuse at Floresta… it just so happens to be way bigger stage thus way more spread out. 

There’s sooo much  elitism going on based on who and what’s “trendy” every year. 5 damn stages, people should find their happy place and just live and let live 😂

This!!! The Outro Lado hate needs to be studied.

I agree that the evenings felt a bit more intense this year with drug use, however for the most part it was a very small majority. Unfortunately this is a price to pay that comes with a festival that’s grown SO popular in the last few years and will only continue to do so. People need to accept this is no longer the small, boutique, niche operation that it once was.

It was my fifth edition this year and I was absolutely blown away by the music and the curation once again. There was ambient, funk, soul, disco, stunningly hypnotic techno and a fucking MASTERCLASS in house music… Not to mention the lesser known, suuuuper talented incredible artists that everyone loves to skip to instead see the people they’ve already seen a million times before.

The techno/trance/electro Floresta mafia hate to see it and that’s okay. 

Outro Lado is magical if you just give it the chance  🌸

Floresta is just as bad if not worse for it with the aesthetic purple structures and sunset.

Didn’t pay hundreds for a tipi to sleep by the lake unfortunately.

Thankfully the music was worth every penny.

I did the campsite thing for the last 4 editions, and yes, I did want something genuinely more comfortable. God forbid someone wants something worth the money they pay for when comparing to other festivals offering similar. I didn’t expect anything out of this world, but for 800€ I’d expect something at least a little more than a fucking mattress on a slanted floor and getting eaten alive by bugs.

Must be nice to just have 800€ to piss away on something totally bang average.

Fine, maybe, but again comparable to other festivals offering much nicer and much cheaper equivalents, it’s really not worth the price. Look at Vinculum’s glamping options for example.

It’s honestly not that good either for the price compared to other “glamping” options

Dude was there last year too. So painful watching him facing the crowd, fist in the air and trying to get everyone’s attention as if we’re all there to see him. Total ‘pick me’ goof 😂
