Alternative and heavy metal music festivals are bucking the trend as dozens of Australian music festivals are cancelled.
It's a bad day for a music festival. Rain pours down as patrons arrive, and there's nowhere to escape the storm. Once everyone's socks, shoes, and clothes are soaked through, the weather switches on a dime: The sun beats down and quickly reaches a swampy 30 degrees. But the conditions haven't deterred fans. "It adds to the experience," says Sandy, who is attending the festival with her two daughters.
"You're seeing that being reflected in line-ups for festivals, absolutely. Like, there's no kind of large-scale, mixed-billed festivals anymore. They're all quite boutique and geared towards a certain demographic of people," he says. "I think the demographic of people that were interested in hard rock and metal music was always quite a significant part of the community, so we haven't really seen a decrease in attendance.
