The New Year comes with bold and flashing hope. People would always look at it as a way to start over—or at least continue whatever positive vibes they have going on from the previous year. For others, it will be yet another chance to chase their dreams and make something out of their lives. For ravers, though, the New Year is a little more exciting because of potential and confirmed music festivals to go to.
