What time does the afterburner music festival start?

what are the set times? Performances start with our opening DJ around 4:00PM each night, and conclude around 10:00PM each night.

How long does a music festival last?

Generally, music festivals last between three days and three weeks. The majority of music festivals are on the shorter end of that. Three days gives most festivals plenty of time to draw in massive crowds and plenty of bands. It's also far cheaper to throw a music festival for a few days than a few weeks.
