Since switching to the free format three years ago; Virgin has been able to raise over $600,000, generate more than 75,000 volunteer hours and create greater than 25,000 outreach kits. Not only does Virgin create an incredible festival experience, but their movement gives back to benefit the community.
Tickets for this event are a premium.
Seth Hurwitz, FreeFest Producer,
After three years of crazy press and feedback, bands start to line up early to be on the ‘It-List. Fortunately, since the tickets go in minutes, we can wait until much later than most festivals to book the absolute best stories of the moment.
