We believe that music and arts festivals promote mental and physical well-being and should come with a health warning advising festival participants of these risks.

Creative cultural exchange and a damn good stomp have been clinically proven to develop human empathy and rekindle the hope that humanity might just make it through the next century.

With the absurd illusions that so often shackle daily lives into blind conformism replaced with creative freedom and self-expression, festival goers have been found to temporarily exhibit signs that life is for living and loving - some going so far as to believe that alternatives might be possible. While this may simply serve to reenergize some as they return to their daily lives, others are inspired to pursue the dream and create their own way forward.

In signing this petition, we call for appropriate health warnings to be mandatory on all festival promotion media, media festival coverage, and official ticket vending points.
