By looking at the various festival websites, I learnt quite a few important things about the design of the sites. The key factors are;
Use a simple layout, that the user can understand
Lineup is the reason for someone to attend a festival so having it accessible is important
Tickets are key importance, and simplicity of the purchase is vital
Artist profiles can be improved on with increased information and interactivity
A countdown until the festival starts
