Are concerts and festivals prohibitively expensive?

As we approach summer, many are considering the costs of a festival-filled season. With soaring ticket prices, are young people finding themselves adjusting their budgets, cutting back on clubbing nights to save for festival tickets? Could the cost of attending a major festival now rival that of a week-long holiday abroad? Joining Andrea to discuss is Ashley Chadomoyo Malone, Dublin DJ and young festival-goer, Daniel Browne, one of the Founders & Owners of Sea Sessions, Gareth Dunleavy, Curator of the ‘Oasis WTS’, Nick McKay from the ‘Roll With It’ Oasis tribute act and more.
