Safer Music Venues in 2016
Remember to be safe out there, friends. Music festivals and electronic events should not be dangerous. Be sure to hold the promoters and venue owners to the highest standards. Ask your local environmental consultants if you have any concerns about hazardous conditions at events. Water and cool conditions should always be provided, but sometimes the dangers can't be seen and require high-tech lead or asbestos testing to determine their presence.
