What's Missing From Music Festivals? | Valkyrie Sessions Ep. 9

Music festivals keep getting bigger, more expensive and more elaborate — but are they actually getting better for the average fan?On Episode 9 of Valkyrie Sessions, I break down what I think is MISSING from today's music festival experience — from giving unknown local bands a legitimate shot, to better hydration and shade options, fan jam sessions and workshops, and bringing back more opportunities for fans to actually interact with artists.Plus, there's plenty more on this week's show:🤘 Nita Strauss returns for her seventh season performing with the Los Angeles Rams🔥 Floor Jansen announces her new solo album and releases new music🎙️ Valkyrie Voices: Peggy Smits of Queen of Spades shares her perspective on women being recognized as musicians first, motherhood, and showing her children what it looks like to chase your dreams🎪 What's Missing From Music Festivals? — The Crash Pit, Rock/Metal's Got Talent, fan participation, artist signing tents and why VIP should buy luxury — NOT the basic festival experience🌊 Album Review: Spiritbox — Tsunami Sea — a creative, emotionally dynamic album featuring one of my favorite Spiritbox songs yet🇦🇺 Band of the Week: RedHook — the high-energy Australian rock band blending alternative rock, pop-punk and metalcoreThank you as always for listening and supporting Valkyrie Sessions!📺 Watch Valkyrie Sessions on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@ValkyrieSessionsUntil next time, keep on rocking! 🤘
