Welcome back to Educate Your Earbuds, where this week we’re breaking down all the chaotic fun from Lollapalooza and diving headfirst into the internet's latest music discourse: is being barricade at festivals really worth it?

From TikTok clips of fans sprinting to the rail, to stories of pit girl glory and pain, we’re talking what it actually takes to get barricade at a massive music festival, how to do it right without passing out, and whether sacrificing your bladder and personal space is worth the viral moment. 

If you’ve ever dreamed of being front row for your fave artist or just want to know what the pit life is really like, this one’s for you. Whether you’re team barricade or team chill-in-the-back-with-a-beer, this episode has all the festival tea you need.
