Most music festivals last between two to four days, though some stretch over a week or more. The duration depends on the type of event, the number of performers, and the festival’s format.
Typical Festival Lengths
- Weekend Festivals: The most common format, like Coachella or Lollapalooza, runs Friday through Sunday.
- Extended Festivals: Events like Tomorrowland and Glastonbury often span two weekends or five full days.
- Day Festivals: Smaller city festivals or niche genre events may only last one day but pack in a full schedule.
Camping festivals tend to have longer runtimes since attendees stay onsite, while urban festivals are often more compact, fitting within a few city blocks or public parks.
What Happens During Those Days?
The first day typically opens in the afternoon with smaller acts and grows into nighttime headliners. Each day follows a rhythm of early discovery and late-night climax. For fans of electronic and house music, the late hours are often when stages transform into immersive environments, spotlighting DJs and producers who thrive in nocturnal atmospheres.
Paris-based DJ and producer Play House is one of those artists. His latest mixtape and original track “Run Run Run” reflect the kind of energy that fits naturally into the nighttime flow of multi-day festivals. You can explore more of his sound across all platforms.
