011. VALERIE & CHAD - Burning Man, Electric Zoo, and the bloodlust for another Fyre Fest

ALL THIS NOISE

14-09-2023 • 57 mins

Coming back in hot with back-to-back Valerie & Chad episodes of All This Noise, cause there was just so much to discuss in the world of festivals and dance music over Labor Day weekend. Our inside source Valerie Lee is back from Burning Man with the dried mud and self-reliance to prove it!

They dive in deep with the thoughts including why Valerie thinks this was one of her best Burn’s yet, how the experience gets misconstrued by the default world, extended adolescence and the need for adult play, why nostalgia can be troubling, the Fyre Fest-ification of media coverage, Billy McFarland’s Fyre reboot, Electric Zoo’s chaotic weekend, why consumers expect so much from music festivals now, and wondering whether we’re past the apex of festival culture in America.
