CHICAGO – Ever since Woodstock in 1969 , music festivals and sex have been inextricably linked. With 2017’s music festival season in full swing, a new survey of 1,100 consumers reveals nearly one quarter (23 percent) of attendees have had sex at Lollapalooza, making it the sexiest show on Earth.

Close behind are those who favor Lorde (8 percent), Muse (6.3 percent), The Killers (6.3 percent) and Tove Lo (4 percent).
Of those who have sex at festivals, 40 percent had tent sex with their current partner. More than a quarter of people were caught up in the atmosphere and had sex with someone they met at the festival, and almost 10 percent of respondents saw desire blossom by the beer tent.
In terms of key locations on festival grounds, 28 percent had sex in a camping tent, 15 percent in their cars and 13 percent in the midst of the crowd. Approximately one-third of those polled have not had sex at a music festival but would like to.
