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). -

Taken by an Unknown 17-Year-Old Photography Student – Published Posthumously for the First Time in a New Limited Edition Publication, Woodstock Experience
UNSEEN ARCHIVE OF WOODSTOCK IMAGES UNEARTHED Taken by an unknown 17-year-old photography student – published posthumously for the first time in a new limited edition publication, Woodstock Experience. London August 2009: A forgotten archive of photographs, taken at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair 40 years ago has been unearthed by UK-based limited edition publishers Genesis Publications. Taken by 17-year-old high school student Dan Garson, the archive has spent the last four decades in a basement, stored in a cardboard box. As well as images of the mud, rain, trampled fences, drugs, skinny dippers and eccentric festival goers that have made Woodstock so iconic, the archive features previously unseen shots of Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Ravi Shankar, Arlo Guthrie and The Band in performance. Rona Elliot, the former entertainment correspondent for NBC!s Today Show, worked at Woodstock as a community relations officer and helped track down Dan Garson!s archive and researched his story. RONA ELLIOT: Dan!s remarkable photographs reveal an exceptional talent, fully formed at 17 years of age. His pictures provide a cohesive narrative of his own Woodstock experience. They demonstrate that he understood, perfectly, both where he was at that moment in time, and the culturally shifting spectacle he was recording. While Dan worked in the photo pit, shooting the musicians onstage, he separated himself from the other photographers. Rather than huddle together with the group, Dan stationed himself adjacent to the film crew. As a result, his images are both unfamiliar and fresh to the eye nearly 40 years after they were taken. -

Woodstock Festival ´69
Woodstock Festival ´69 The Woodstock Music and Art Festival was a rock music festival at Max Yasgur´s 600 acre (2.4km2) dairy farm in town of Bethel, New York between 15 August and 18 August 1969. It might be the most famous rock concert and festival ever held. For many, it showed the counterculture of the 1960´s and the “Hippie movement”. Many of the most famous musicians at the time showed up during the weekend, as can be seen in a 1970 movie called Woodstock. Joni Mitchell´s song “Woodstock”, about the event, also became a major hit song for Crosby, Stills, and Nash & Young. In recent years, a number of attempts were made to recreate it, but the original Woodstock´69 has proven to be legendary. The Festival was Called “Woodstock”, because “Woodstock Ventures” an investment company had put money into the concert, it was supposed to be in the town of Wallkill, in Ulster County; but the town would not give a place for such a large event, because they thought that over a million people would come. A place was found in the town of Bethel, Max Yasgur let the concert happen on the family´s dairy farm. Although the show was planned for as many as 200.000 fans, over 400.000 came; most of these did not pay to get in. The roads to the concert were jammed with traffic. People left their cars and walked for miles to get the concert area. The weekend was rainy and overcrowded, and fans shared food, alcoholic drinks, and drugs. -

CNHI Woodstock 20190814
A half-century later, the mother of all music festivals still resonates ifty years after the fact, it still resonates with us. Tucked up in the Catskill Mountains, the Woodstock Music & Art Fair — promoted as “An Aquarian Exposition, Three Days of Peace and Music,” but known to one and all as simply Woodstock — took place in 1969 over three-plus days. From Friday, Aug. 15, through the morning of Monday, Aug. 18, dairy farmer Max Yasgur’s 600- acre parcel of land in Bethel, New York — forever immortalized in Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” (ironically, she wasn’t at the event itself) — became the epicenter of the music and cultural universe, a haven for 400,000-plus hippies, bohemians, music lovers and mem- bers of the counterculture. It began when folkie Richie Havens began strumming his gui- tar, kicking off the festival with Paul Gerry/Bethel Woods Collection “From the Prison.” Thirty-two more acts, about 66 hours and several rainstorms later, it ended when guitar god Jimi Hendrix capped off a stellar set with his rendition of “Hey Joe.” Thousands of cars were left stranded for miles and miles en route to the venue as concertgo- ers walked to their destination. Tickets for the festival were $18, but many attendees got in for free when the crowd more than tripled what organizers had anticipated. Dallas Taylor, the drummer for supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (playing just its second-ever show), asked the helicopter pilot James Sarles/Bethel Woods Collection James Sarles/Bethel Woods Collection flying him to the event what body of More than 400,000 people descended on a dairy farm in Bethel, N.Y., for the concert held 50 years ago. -

The 60’s and the promise of Woodstock ended w/a SICKENING thud this past December at a Stones concert at Altamont in northern California. The war was still raging. The Weathermen blew up a building in the village…the one they lived in. The Chicago Seven got off, but Timothy Leary didn’t…for a change. He got ten years for possession of two roaches! On TV the top shows were Marcus Welby, Flip Wilson and Gunsmoke. TV was kind of a drag. MASH had just opened at the theaters but truth was we still all came together around the music, and it was awesome. The Beatles, said Let It Be, and we all knew the end was near. In New York 1970 the place to be was Greenwich Village. The weekends found most of us on 2nd Ave and 6th. That was Bill Grahams Fillmore East. The year had started out with Jimi Hendrix and a band of Gypsies on New Years Eve. In March alone there was Neil Young & Crazy Horse, The Steve Miller Band, Miles Davis, BB King, The Moody Blues…and then there was the last weekend of March the 27th and 28th, Easter Weekend. -
