According to science, as enacted by a tech company called Withings, music festivals are great places to burn kilojoules. In fact, the average punter burns off over a staggering 37,656 kJs, and walks over 24 kilometres, across a standard three-day music event. As Metro reports, the average festivalgoer will spend up to eight hours dancing per day, burning an average of 1,670-2,930 kJs during each act. With KC Roberts and the Live Revolution, The HeavyWeight Brass band, and Molly Johnson, you'd better be bringing your dancing shoes! Dancing is actually amazing excursive, and if you have the right soundtrack, you'd never realize how much jumping around you're actually doing! Skip the gym, and come get your moves on at Skyfest!
