Six festivals that changed the world forever...
The best festivals provide an
outlet for a collective yearning.
Woodstock, Sundance,
Glastonbury, Essence and Burning
Man's impact has eclipsed even
their founders' wildest dreams.
Access’ recent trip to California for
FestForum’s blockbuster summit
united the visionaries behind the
afore-mentioned events.
These events, and a more recent
event – the UK’s environmentally
pioneering Shambala festival
(established as such in 2005) –
earned their place in our top six
most influential festivals list for their
impetus both within our industry,
and far beyond.
