A touching moment unfolded on the Lost Lands subreddit as fans came together in support of a community member facing a tough cancer diagnosis. The attendee shared that his wife was diagnosed with the BRCA gene mutation, which led to preventative surgeries and the discovery of a tumor during a breast removal procedure—forcing them to skip Lost Lands this year.
Despite the difficult situation, the couple lightened the mood by joking about visiting the festival grounds just to join protesters and keep their connection to the event alive. Their openness sparked a widespread outpouring of love, strength, and solidarity from the Lost Lands family.
- Fans flooded the thread with personal cancer stories and encouragement.
- A new “Fuck Cancer” totem chant was proposed to unite the community in fighting back emotionally.
- Someone suggested contacting the festival’s ADA team to explore support and accommodations, reflecting Lost Lands’ commitment to attendee care.
This collective display of PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect) highlights the deep bonds that extend beyond the legendary bass music and dinosaur-themed decor. Lost Lands isn’t just a festival—it’s a supportive family ready to lift up its members during trying times.
Keep rooting for recovery and strength in the Lost Lands community. Moments like these remind us all why these gatherings mean so much more than music.
