Music festivals promise freedom, transcendence, and memories you’ll treasure forever. That's why human beings have been gathering in the dark to drink, dance, lose their minds - and occasionally die - for thousands of years.

This week, Chris and Ed follow the music festival from the frenzied worshippers of Dionysus and ancient beer-soaked ritual sites to Woodstock, Altamont, Woodstock ’99, and Astroworld. Along the way they taste raw flesh, meet Hells Angels, dance through human sewage, and learn all about the the Satanic conspiracy theories that turned a preventable tragedy into an alleged portal to hell.
