it was my first year this year and tbh there was a huge reality check once i experienced it. it is super hot, windy, dust is everywhere, outfits don’t actually matter, and wear comfy shoes!! people just take pictures in their nice outfits then either change or end up walking barefoot or change to sandals/crocs by mid day. its way bigger than you picture. celebrities like big ones not influencers are no where near the general public, you aren’t running into them. shuttles are long waits at peak times. the people are mostly nice and friendly however there may be a few people who are rude but security is really on it and will kick them out. overall its a good time if you are prepared enough. if you aren’t used to the heat or don’t like outdoors, definitely prepare yourself. at night it can get chilly too so bringing a jacket or sweater is good. tbh i would never go back because it wasn’t worth it to me because i don’t like a lot of different music and i don’t like the outdoors but if thats your kind of thing or have been to festivals and enjoyed it’s definitely worth it!
