Six months, 181 days, 4344 hours and 260,640 seconds have already passed in 2018 and so far the festivals have been out of this world. Each brought and will bring their own unique vibes by set up, lineup, and ravers that made it special. But the festival season still in full effect and the festivals are coming in as hot as this summer.
