Field Trip

This one is a toughie to rate as I don’t think it’s fair to compare Field Trip to Coachella or even Osheaga, I wasn’t really able to make it to the entire festival, and I’m a bit biased as I won passes through Unilocal.
Price-​wise, I still find it a tad expensive if comparing it to Osheaga ’cause it’s half the price as the festival in Montréal, but also waaay less acts. Tickets for this year’s Field Trip were $ 75/​day or $ 125/​weekend, just includes access. Osheaga — $ 250, but how can you compare the line-​up?
Just to give you an idea — additional costs include food trucks which averaged $ 10, Buster’s was more, tallboys were $ 9, and parking, THE FREAKIN’ parking was $ 14 and slightly cheaper after 6pm at $ 11.
Vibe? Pretty chill. Ridiculous outfits seem to be more prominent during the hotter day. You sorta just walk around, check out a food truck (or 2), buy a drink if you want, smoke wherever you want, and listen to a band if you want.
What made this festival unique was that they permitted children under 12 for free + activities for them. So if you’re a parent of young children, thinking of attending, I think it would be VERY worthwhile for you. Tip: You may want to bring noise cancelling headphones though ’cause although your ears may be able to take the music, I found it quite loud even not directly in front of stage.
Food trucks, Etsy booths, free water refill station and stuff like that were good when you weren’t enjoying the music.
Tip: Check out the weather before you head out! It was raining the entire 2^nd day and slightly chilly, so dress accordingly.
