REPOSTED from The Sights & Sounds

It’s no secret that the international music festival scene has witnesses explosive growth over the past decade.

Stories of human progress, that didn’t make it into the evening broadcasts, or onto your social media feeds.

We spent the year collecting them, in our ongoing mission to stop the fear virus in its tracks.
