So keep refreshing that app. Embrace the minor anxiety. When you finally see the words “Noah Kahan: West Holts Stage, Saturday, 7:45 PM” (or whatever magic time it ends up being), feel a little thrill. That’s your moment.
You’re not just planning a festival day. You’re building a memory that will keep you warm through the soggiest British November. You’re choosing to be present. You’re choosing to show up for yourself and for the art that makes you feel alive.
And here’s the inspiring bit: if you can plan for a moment of musical joy in a muddy field, you can plan for joy anywhere. So go find your time. Mark your calendar. And when that moment comes, sing your heart out. The world will be a slightly better place because you did. Now, go get that schedule!
