  • ANDERTON Music Festival Capitalism
    1 Music Festival Capitalism Chris Anderton Abstract: This chapter adds to a growing subfield of music festival studies by examining the business practices and cultures of the commercial outdoor sector, with a particular focus on rock, pop and dance music events. The events of this sector require substantial financial and other capital in order to be staged and achieve success, yet the market is highly volatile, with relatively few festivals managing to attain longevity. It is argued that these events must balance their commercial needs with the socio-cultural expectations of their audiences for hedonistic, carnivalesque experiences that draw on countercultural understanding of festival culture (the countercultural carnivalesque). This balancing act has come into increased focus as corporate promoters, brand sponsors and venture capitalists have sought to dominate the market in the neoliberal era of late capitalism. The chapter examines the riskiness and volatility of the sector before examining contemporary economic strategies for risk management and audience development, and critiques of these corporatizing and mainstreaming processes. Keywords: music festival; carnivalesque; counterculture; risk management; cool capitalism A popular music festival may be defined as a live event consisting of multiple musical performances, held over one or more days (Shuker, 2017, 131), though the connotations of 2 the word “festival” extend much further than this, as I will discuss below. For the purposes of this chapter, “popular music” is conceived as music that is produced by contemporary artists, has commercial appeal, and does not rely on public subsidies to exist, hence typically ranges from rock and pop through to rap and electronic dance music, but excludes most classical music and opera (Connolly and Krueger 2006, 667).

  • Audiences' Perspective on Engaging with Science at a Summer Festival
    Science in culture: audiences’ perspective on engaging with science at a summer festival Margarida Sardo and Ann Grand University of the West of England, Bristol 5 Corresponding author: Margarida Sardo ([email protected]) Science Communication Unit, University of the West of England, Bristol, BS16 1QY, UK Abstract 10 In this commentary we explore the factors that contributed to festival-goers’ choice to attend science-based events at a summer cultural festival. We evaluated the impact of such events on the audiences; their levels of engagement, reasons for participation and their views on and reactions to the events. Presented with a variety of cultural events, attendances at science- based events was strong, with high levels of enjoyment and engagement with scientists and 15 other speakers. Moreover, audiences did not see science as something distinct from other cultural events, but as just another option: science was culture. Keywords: informal venues, science communication, public engagement, generic venues, audience, festivals 20 1 Introduction: the British summer festival scene Festivals, of music, literature, science and more, are ubiquitous on the British summer scene (BAFA, 2015; The Festival Calendar, 2015; British Science Association, 2015). They range from small, local events that attract just a few hundred people to nationwide events that reach 25 millions (Bultitude, et al., 2011). While some festivals are renowned for a focus on one aspect of cultural life, many have expanded their remit. For example, the Edinburgh International Festival, held in the city since 1947, covers theatre, opera, music, dance and the visual arts; the Glastonbury Festival, which began in 1970, while best-known for music, includes theatre, poetry, spoken word and comedy.

  • Greening the Festival Industry: Using the Triple Bottom Line Approach to Promote Sustainability in Music Events
    Greening The Festival Industry: Using the Triple Bottom Line Approach to Promote Sustainability in Music Events By Matt Glassett University of Colorado A thesis submitted to the University of Colorado at Boulder in partial fulfillment of the requirements to receive Honors designation in Environmental Studies May 2014 Thesis Advisors: Dale Miller, Environmental Studies, Committee Chair Dave Newport, Environmental Studies Keith Stockton, Leeds School of Business © 2014 by Matthew Glassett All rights reserved Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore initiatives in the festival industry that could promote sustainability. As the festival industry continues to grow, steps need to be made to ensure that these events are not detrimental to the environment. This paper analyzed several changes in festival operations to see if they could save the festival money while reducing its environmental impact. Through personal interviews, Internet polling, and outside research, I looked at four possible proposals in the sectors of waste management and transportation. My analyses proved difficult to confidently suggest any of these proposals, as price variability and differences in festivalgoers’ attitudes affected the success of each project. Ultimately, the decision to promote sustainability relies on the personal values of the company throwing the festival, though a “greener” festival generally enhances the event’s image.
