Survival of a Punk Rock Festival
2. Get to Your Concert Early

            One of the most important things of surviving a Punk Rock Festival is getting to the venue early. This is for several different reasons, such as parking, getting a good standing spot in the crowd, and knows who is performing when. Knowing these things can make your festival more enjoyable.
             Lot of concert venues has huge parking lots like Wal-Mart. We all hate the long walk into the store because we had to park in the very back of the parking lot. With arriving to the venue early you can get a good parking spot and not have what feels like to most is trekking over a million miles. Also never forget to bring 10 to 20 dollars for parking. This is one of the ways that concert venues can hire bands to come and play and also keep their place nice for potentially clientele of concert goers.
            With festivals of any sort of genre, will always draw the biggest crowds you’ll ever see in your life. When it comes to favorite your band you want to get as close the stage as possible for maxim jamming out. Knowing when the venue opens for concert goers to go in will help you and or group you’re going with know when you want to arrive there. Arrive early can help you get a good standing spot to see your band as well as the other bands. Some people at festivals don’t want to stand forever and jam out which is never a bad thing. People who jam out and mosh hardcore always deserve a break. Concert venues will always have a free printed out schedule of who is performing and when as well. You just take one and decide when you want to break for food or whatever.
           Some festivals goers don’t this some of the time but knowing when you favorite band is performing next this can help you. Most festivals will have what is called a set change. This is where a band who has just got done performing will switch out with the next band. They do this by having their road crew come in and tear down their band set from drums, guitar pedals, and etc. Usually this takes about four to five minutes and with this the crowd disperses a little bit allowing you and or group to come and grab a good standing spot to see your favorite band.
