I have two dogs and would not dream of taking them to a festival. In fact it hadn't occurred to me that I might take them!

Why? It's a strange and noisy enviroment which totally disrupts ant routine your dog may have and may lead to behaviours it wouldn't usually exhibit. You have to be responsive to your dog so if it gets unsettled you must sort it first whether or not it's an artist you really want to see (and why go to a festival if not to see artist or play or dance as you want). Tents and cars get way to hot (even in a rainy summer) for dogs so you are tied to you dog aall the time. There are issues over hygiene etc even for well behaved dogs and owners.

So any festival I go to (whether or not I'm working it) the dogs go to kennels.
