  • 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).

  • How Greta Thunberg's Lone Strike Against Climate Change Became A
    Subscribe HOME POLITICS POLITICS FEATURES MARCH 5, 2019 9:42AM ET How Greta Thunberg’s Lone Strike Against Climate Change Became a Global Movement The 16-year-old Swedish activist’s #FridaysForFuture protests have galvanized young people around the world By KATE ARONOFF Greta Thunberg at a nature reserve outside Stockholm in January Photograph by Anna Tärnhuvud At the end of a record-hot summer in Sweden last August, then-15-year-old Greta Thunberg decided she would not be going back to school. Frustrated by the lack of attention paid to the existential threat of global warming — not least by politicians campaigning for upcoming elections — she set up outside the Swedish parliament with a water bottle, her rucksack filled with books and snacks and a homemade sign announcing her “School Strike for Climate.” “I tried to bring people along to join me,” she says — she’d been inspired by the Parkland, Florida, students who walked out of class to protest gun violence — “but no one was really interested, and so I had to do it by myself.” ADVERTISEMENT Thunberg wasn’t alone for long. By the end of the first week, her strike had drawn coverage from Sweden’s biggest newspapers. As reporters flocked and she handed out fliers bearing the message “You grownups don’t give a shit about my future,” supporters dropped by to join the homespun protest on their lunch breaks. After three weeks of missed classes, Thunberg finally went back to school — mostly. She still strikes every Friday. Now she’s become the unexpected founder of an international youth movement.

Survived by her husband, two children, and six grandchildren, Roberts died of breast cancer September 17th at the age of seventy-fi ve. Fellow journalists were quick to praise her. Fox News Chief White House Correspondent John Roberts, called her “a true pioneer of business and a revered col- league,” and ABC News President James Goldston hon- ored Roberts for “her kindness and generosity, and sharp intellect,” noting that she “made ABC a better place and all of us better journalists.” 60 Minutes correspondent, Lesley Stahl, said Roberts’ death was like “losing the best sister you could ever have,” adding that her friend’s pro- fessional mantra was always, “Do no harm.” Born December 27, 1943, in New Orleans, Cokie Roberts was raised in a highly-charged political atmo- sphere.

Fair and Parade, scheduled for Saturday May, 19, they may be welcoming more unusual “visitors” than they had bargained for. “What’s that you say?” shocked local resident Bucky Flint exclaimed as he adjusted his tinfoil hat, “Doc Holiday’s coming to Pine Bush? That guy’s freakin’ nuts!” Whether he’s a simple crack-pot, or a madman-genius is de- batable. What is not up to debate is the fact that “Doc” has a car caravan scheduled to leave the front circle of the Villa Roma Re- sort and Hotel at 9:00 am on the morning of May 19th. They will be leaving the Fair in Pine Bush at 2:00 pm that afternoon for their return trip to the world famous Catskills resort.
