The fact that summer is coming to an end doesn’t mean that all the music festivals are over. How about samba lines in Skåne Tones or music and meditation in Falköping?

Whether you are a Hultsfred bum or a music connoisseur, we at the 365 office want to share our experiences of this summer's festivals. And if you don’t have time - then cut & paste & save them for next summer. We are in the midst of the seven things you can do at a festival:

Samba lines aren’t just for scantily clad Brazilian women. Samba is in us all. It’s a natural rhythm that your body follows if you just start it. Starting a samba line is simple. Making it stop is more difficult. Not that you’d want to.

1. Start with a bunch of buddies. Divide yourselves so that some are dancing and playing drums on anything you can find. Use old PET bottles, branches and Tupperware as instruments.

2. Find an area with many people. It’s good if they’re already happy, energetic or drunk. Then they’ll most likely follow in the train.

3. Continue to samba all through the festival area and gather as many people as possible.

Required time: 
1 day or less.
Cost: 
Free.
Cons: 
People in the camp may think you’re a nuisance, as you might trip over tent ropes and other things.
Pros: 
You keep the heat. You use things just lying around. You feel the rhythm.
