A new study out of Yale University says attending music festivals can make you a better person.
It found that nearly two-thirds of people who attended festivals felt "radically changed" by the experience, with a greater understanding and willingness to help others - an effect that can last up to six months.
Researchers believe music festivals offer a similar sense of community to religious celebrations, pilgrimages, or other ceremonies.
