Famous festivals like Tomorrowland, Coachella, Lollapalooza and Glastonbury have built a loyal fanbase, with many festivalgoers returning every year. The impact of social media has enabled events to reach wider audiences and engage with attendees before the festival even starts, creating a bigger buzz and amplifying the festival’s presence.
