Summer is almost over and some think that the festival season is too. But that’s not true. Here you will find tips of other, different festivals to visit in autumn. Right now three of the big ones are taking place, Way Out West in Gothenburg, Göteborg Culture Festival and the Malmö Festival. We at the 365 office thought we’d share some of our summer experiences and give you a more fun and creative festival experience. Here are seven things you can do at a festival.
The worst thing there is, is to realize you’ve forgotten your ear plugs in the tent five minutes before a heavy metal concert. Most festivals usually sell earplugs, but if there isn’t someone selling them nearby, or if you don’t want to leave your spot at the front of the stage you needn’t despair. Make your own ear plugs by rolling paper, an unused napkin or small pieces of fabric to the appropriate size balls and put them in your ears. It’s important to remember not to push the ball too far into the auditory canals so that you can’t get them out again. Don’t put chewing gum or food in your ears. It may stick, and is generally unsanitary. If you have a hat or walkman headphones you can make use of them as well
Tip: Take two cigarettes and use the white filter for earplugs. It clearly gives a smooth attenuation of frequencies and is preferable if you want to make it sound a bit better!
Required time:
1 hour or less.
Cons:
It might get stuck in your ear and be difficult to get out.
Pros:
You don’t get tinnitus, hearing loss and also you can hear the music better and clearer.
