INSIDE WORLD'S MOST INSANE FESTIVAL

Take a look at Burning Man … the desert party featuring an Orgy Dome, surreal sculptures and a lot of nudity that makes our muddy misadventures look tame

FOR most of us, the festival experience is all about letting our hair down and living like anything goes for a few short days. 

But there's one gathering in the remote Nevada desert that takes this anarchy to a whole new level.

The yearly Burning Man festival sees tens of thousands of people gather for at least a week of mayhem and mutiny on a scale that puts makes our muddy misadventures look tame.

Misfits in all walks of life -- from surreal artists and far-out families to high-flying CEOs and tech titans -- head to the sands for a party like no other.

In the past, electric car pioneer Elon Musk, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Google's Larry Page and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook joined the rebellious souls at Burning Man.

From obscure sculptures and wacky outfits to the ever-popular Orgy Dome -- Burning Man seems to get more insane every year.

The festival, which this year hosted over 70,000 'burners' including 3,000 rich enough to fly in to its unregulated Black Rock City Airport, goes from the last Monday in August to the first Monday in September.

Marking the end of summer, the festival is rounded off by living up to its title -- with the burning of a giant wooden man-shaped construct.

But before then, there's plenty for curious characters unshackled from the norms of life like phones and even money to get their heads around.

There's a tent for mass lesbian romps, a human petting zoo and first-timers get hugged by a stark naked welcoming committee.

And the madness doesn't come cheap -- with tickets starting from around £300 per person without a vehicle.

So, if you fancy taking part in the most insane festival ever, we recommend you get saving.
