Festivals mean big crowds and big acts... but do they cause big problems for the clubbing scene too?
Reader Eros reports how festivals in his native Australia have had a negative impact on clubbing: “Here in Oz we seem to be in festival overload. One might have thought this was good thing but in fact has had a negative impact on the club scene.
“Firstly when you factor in the cost of around AU$200, most kids are now saving up for two or three festivals rather than going clubbing regularly. As a result the local scene has started to suffer as the ‘regular clubber’ now seems to be a thing of the past. It’s now harder for local DJs to develop a following and the club culture that comes with regulars is also in decline.
