Alternative music festivals

Alternative music festivals are events that showcase non-mainstream music genres, often focusing on independent, underground, or experimental artists. These festivals typically feature a diverse range of styles, including indie rock, electronic, punk, and folk, appealing to audiences seeking unique musical experiences. Unlike larger commercial festivals, alternative festivals prioritize artistic expression, community engagement, and often promote social or environmental causes. They provide a platform for emerging talent and create an inclusive atmosphere for fans to discover new sounds and connect with like-minded individuals. Popular examples include Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza, which often feature alternative line-ups alongside mainstream acts.
