Whether you’re a huge fan of music festivals or view them as glorified camping trips with the added bonus of smelling like an aged sock.
Since their introduction, they have flourished as an enormous part of British culture. Music Festival PR Love.
When festival cancellations began a few months ago, thousands lamented the loss of future memories.
That were not to be made.
Among them artists and performers who have also suffered tour cancellations and other career-changing appearances.
Like disco queen Joyce Sims, who was set to embark on her first UK stage tour since 2017.

As my own disappointment festered, I decided to spark conversation with a few friends.
By asking them about their favourite festival memories and thoughts on why, collectively as Brits.
We anticipate festival season with such vim, sending many of them into a spiral of woeful nostalgia.
“My favourite thing is the camaraderie of the group you’re camping with and the notion that for a weekend,
You’re a little squad that has each other’s backs.”
“… the in between phase of seeing acts, where you sit outside the tent with your mates drinking and having a laugh.”
“Chatting to strangers as if they’re your BMAs” (had to confirm that’s Best Mates Always).
“Being able to talk about funny stories in years to come and the good vibes you feel when you think back.”
“Several days of having nothing else to think about other than dancing.

As well as creating an environment where friendships can form and deepen, festivals are also the perfect place for romantic love to blossom.
With the heady concoction of over-excitement, excessive alcohol consumption and the seductive scent of roll on deodorant,.
It’s no wonder so many marriage proposals take place among the crowds during and between live performances.
In another era, these memories may have been our only consolation during festival bereavement season.
However thanks to modern tech, 2020 has given rise to the ‘virtual festival’,.
With hundreds of musicians taking part in interactive online performances.
Via Instagram Live and YouTube among other video streaming platforms.
Why not recreate the full experience by pitching a tent in the garden (or living room),,
Setting a sequence of alarms to wake yourself up every two-three hours and peeing into a plastic bottle?
Or you could hang up some bunting and enjoy the musical performances from the comfort of your own sofa.
It’s not quite the same, but it’s a silver lining through the empty squares on our weekend calendars.
If you’re more of an audiophile, join me in catching Joyce Sims as she featured across national radio stations.
