Unforgettable Festival Mishaps That We Still Think About

But with so many people in a high-energy environment, there are bound to be a few awkward moments. Read on to find out the most cringeworthy festival memories that no one can forget!

This young woman seemed to have partied so hard that she could no longer keep it down. But don’t forget, Coachella is about the arts, not how much alcohol you can drink! Let’s keep the festival fun and safe for everyone.

Tents and stages were flooded, but the event coordinators rose to the challenge and made sure that everyone stayed safe. The week was spent treading water, but the spirit of the festival was never dampened and the event was a triumph in the face of adversity.

That’s why this guy had the best idea ever – he found the world’s smallest tent to provide a little shelter from the rain or sun and catch some Z’s. Nothing like a perfect napping spot at every festival!

Without an easy way to move around and access the bathroom, this dino was regretting their fashion choices. So, the next time you attend a festival, make sure to choose your outfit wisely and know where the nearest restroom is!

Coachella certainly falls into the latter category. While it’s true that her kid may be well behaved, they would probably both have much more fun if they were elsewhere. Allowing adults to let loose and enjoy a carefree atmosphere, Coachella is no place for kids.

Sure, do your own thing, but playing on your phone during a concert is not only weird, it’s also disrespectful to the band that is playing their hearts out for you. Respect the music, put away your phone!

Instead of the luxurious accommodations they were promised, when they arrived they were confronted by a half-built tent city that resembled emergency accommodation after a natural disaster. It was an event that truly shocked the world.

Nature conservation should always come first – this poor tree has certainly been robbed of its freedom. We must remember that it’s not just a set piece, but a living being that deserves our protection and respect. Let’s save the trees and create a better future for our planet.

While this happy camper may not look like he’s particularly comfortable, we can guarantee that to him, it probably feels like the best sleep he’s ever had. So, if you’ve been partying hard, take a moment to relax, recharge, and sleep – wherever you can – you deserve it!

Unfortunately, the party didn’t stop there, as the aftermath of the mayhem left behind a sea of trash. Despite the mess, these revelers continue to show that no amount of rain can dampen their spirits!

Don’t worry about the tent not being waterproof – modern tents are designed to be sturdy and water-resistant, so you can enjoy a refreshing shower in the privacy of your own space! A shower in your tent is a great way to stay clean and keep the festival spirit alive!

From the ground security guys getting in on the action to the woman acting as a base, everyone’s having a blast. It’s a hippie atmosphere and a great way for everyone to relax and enjoy a unique experience. Let’s all keep the party going and take festival fun to an even higher level.

Despite the fact that he thought his shoes would do the trick, he ultimately ended up with a major fail as he spent the rest of the weekend practically barefoot. Don’t make the same mistake! Make sure your shoes are up to the challenge or you could end up in the same barefoot blunder.

This photo shows a dancer, who appears to have taken a nap next to the trash cans! Despite the odd choice of location, he seems to be quite at peace. After a long day of festivities, sometimes all you need is a good nap – no matter where!

But one person has come up with the perfect solution – protective gear to shield them from the biohazards. Now we’ve seen it all! We bet she could make some cash renting it out to her fellow festival goers. It’ll certainly help alleviate the smell.

We understand the concept of “free hugs”, but how does “free shrugs” work? Does he shrug at you? Should you shrug at him? Should you both shrug together? What does it all mean? We may never know the answer – but one thing’s for sure, it’s definitely an interesting concept!

Unfortunately, guests were met with a much different reality; their luggage was thrown off a container in the middle of the night in complete darkness. Instead of the extravagant event they were promised, the guests were treated with atrocious attitudes and a complete lack of hospitality. This disastrous event will go down in history as a major fail.

With a look of shock and disbelief on his face, it was going to be a real struggle getting out of this predicament. It seems his friends chose to embrace their inner child and have a bit of harmless fun – at his expense!

Imagine being covered in something that looks like a toxic waste spill! Nobody wants to end a night at a show with a slimy surprise like this, so it’s best to steer clear of these foreign substances.

Unfortunately, he forgot to take into account the fact that a giant ball isn’t the most conducive platform for a concert, and ended up spending quite a bit of time rolling around – a far cry from the show he had intended to put on.

Nonetheless, any band that truly respects music would still play in front of any crowd, no matter its size. Kudos to these true musicians who recognize that even an audience of one is worth their time and effort.

What a clever way of recycling waste at the festival, while also giving their buddy a hilarious surprise! We just hope they really did recycle all the cups after their friend woke up.

The mask he’s wearing complements the festive atmosphere nicely. It’s clear to see that this officer is in a jovial mood, but it’s probably best to keep your partying away from this horse’s head!

But this guy? It looks like he went to Walmart and grabbed the first thing he saw from the sales rack. Talk about an unexpected fashion statement! Was he trying to turn heads? We can’t be sure, but this Walmart Wunderkind sure did it.

But rather than let it ruin the experience, some festivals have learned to embrace the muck and make it part of the experience. Despite the mess, these festivals still manage to provide attendees with a memorable and enjoyable time.

Take this hopeful peacock for example, signaling to all the single ladies that he’s looking to find a special someone… or at least have a great time. It’s quite an impressive sight to behold – so why not give it a shot?

Instead of the culinary delights they were promised, they got a few sandwiches and salads made with ingredients that were seemingly pulled from a nearby convenience store. Talk about a letdown! It’s a reminder to not always trust the hype, including when it comes to food.

Show your love to each other, but keep it to yourselves! Enjoy the festival with other people who share your music tastes, but don’t forget your manners! ‘P’ also stands for ‘private’!

We can only wonder what the people who chose this trashy location for their accommodation were thinking! We’re betting they would’ve needed a long soak in the bathtub after this. Make sure to do your research before you set up camp and avoid a smelly mishap!

The yellow and black pattern of his suit is a bit of an eyesore – like a banana left a little too long in the fruit bowl – and we can’t say we’re fans of the tassels either. Tassels should only be allowed to exist on curtains or on cowboys, right? Let’s hope Burna Boy’s next look is a bit more on-trend!

Not cool, dude. She must have been scared straight after that incident. Hopefully, the mud monster man didn’t follow her around to continue the scaring. Take a shower, sir, and go about your day.

The Dalmatian man decided to wander around the desert in a fully, furry costume! Surely, people got lots of good laughs out of it. Although he must have been very sweaty in that get-up, it was probably worth the suffering.

At least she was prepared for the hot day with some cool shades and (of course) a red hat. We must say that she did a pretty good job of presenting a matching outfit, too.

For this guy, he decided to take a nap in one of the resident port-o-potties to replenish his energy. It’s kind of a win-win because you can sleep and don’t have to go somewhere else to use the bathroom.

Technically, people at these festivals do sleep in tents, so it’s not so far out of left field to say you went camping. Very clever!

It was probably too expensive, which is why people just opted for a day pass. That’s pretty embarrassing for the planners behind the festival. Maybe the marketing team needs a new strategy.

With all the dancing and walking around in one day, heels aren’t the best choice. Ultimate comfort is what most people aim for at a music festival unless she was trying to make a fashion statement!

While this guy is clearly in the spirit, he’s sending the wrong message. Worst of all, he didn’t even put much thought into the outfit either. He just threw some elements on and went on his merry way. We wonder what he will dress up as next year.

Well, this girl wasn’t thinking ahead and decided to wear white Vans (which got very muddy). This will probably be a lesson she will never forget when she goes to her next festival.

They should have the time of their lives and this group of guys clearly didn’t care at all! The more the merrier, right?!
