The 2019 festival season is finally underway. After a spectacular Ultra Miami 2019 which saw a variety of outstanding performances by the worlds biggest artists, it is now the turn of Coachella to unite hundreds of thousands of music fans from all over the world to enjoy some of the most talented and popular artists perform live.

With technology having advanced at unprecedented rates of the past decades, it is now almost possible for fans to experience the festivals from the comfort of their homes, be it from the numerous live streams or videos and pictures being posted during and after these events.
