“It is, in every sense, deeply decent – equal parts bougie and bonkers, like a country house party that accidentally invited in the circus, the club kids, and a few stray shamans.”
“The demographic at Wilderness is beautifully mixed. Parents can nostalgia-trip to legacy acts while their teens rave in the woods.”
“The crowd is very posh with names like Tarquin and Isabella being called through the crowd.”
