I occasionally do some work for Travel Hymns, a music festival travel blog that provides tips and news stories about the big events that take place annually. One of the latest features that caught my attention is their Burning Man prep piece -- having someone from the festival essentially write about the experience the entire time.
I never really considered the music selection Burning Man had to offer. Quite frankly, I can't see a lot of big acts being too game for the conditions at Burning Man -- a willingness to travel and play would be an amazing experience I'm sure, but you also, as a band, probably need to consider the other potential tour dates you're dropping just to be there.
My perception of Burning Man has always been the jam band type of crowd, not really so much focused on the actual songs as much as the actual vibe. I guess that blends in to house music a bit, and there's some of that to be accounted for at the festival as well, but I never considered big name acts taking part in the event. I suppose I'm learning more and more how inviting the festival actually is.
These posts are in development on Travel Hymns, I understand there's a lot more content to be added in the near future. Perhaps then I can really delve into the specific artists I'm mentioning!
