Alternate communitiesThe attendance at youth music festivals is increasing, especially at events such as Burning Man, which offer a truly alternative community.“The first weekend of this year's Coachella festival set a new record for attendance at the annual event, NBC Los Angeles reports. According to the Indio, Californiapolice department, approximately 80,000-85,000 people attended each day of the three-day festival, up from 70,000-75,000 last year, the previous record.
