      please include the entity as a response to a browse event by event.

      it is annoying that you have to first do a lookup
      https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/event/183ba1ec-a87b-4c0e-85dd-496b7cea4399?inc=artist-rels+event-rels&fmt=json
      and then a browse
      https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/event?event=183ba1ec-a87b-4c0e-85dd-496b7cea4399&inc=artist-rels+event-rels&fmt=json

      to get all the information of a full festival.

      i understand that with other browse requests you also didn't include the item where you are looking for.

      but that is because it is a totally different type. if you event?place=<some place> then it is logical that the place isn't included in the response, since it is not an event.

      but when i do event?event=<some festival> then it does feel logical to respone the item aswel, sincet it is an event.

      it would decrease the amount of requests being send to the server and would make the logic to process everything much easier.
