  • 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).

In the 19th century, mouth organ ma- king came to town and soon dominated the townscape with a multitude of workshops. By the year 1840 or thereabouts, this boom had turned Klingenthal into Germany’s largest centre for the manufacture of mouth organs. Production consolidation also had its benefits.

  • You Gotta Fight (For Your Right to Make Music) | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives You gotta fight (for your right to make music) Page 1 of 4 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists You gotta fight (for your right to make music) By Robin Seaton Thursday 4 May 2006 Robin Seaton met Fightstar in Leeds on their third UK headline tour. They talked about the metal/punk scene and their attempts to forge a post-Busted fanbase You have to admire Charlie Simpson’s optimism, and his bravery. There’s something almost American about his desire for reinvention, something suicidal about his courage in forming a metal/punk band after having left Busted, a group who were one of the most successful manifestations of the legalised child exploitation racket that is pop music. There was almost something postmodern in their management’s attempts to create a patina of ‘rock respectability’ to cover the fundamentally teenager-targeted music. Their (unplugged) guitars, their ‘personalised’ clothes, that bloody endless ‘punk’ gurning. They weren’t fooling anyone, and they knew it. So how did the pretty-boy singer imagine that he could get away with forming a band playing music to punks and metalheads, two groups of music fans notorious for their abilities to sniff out anything fake, popular or safe, then gob on its face and kick its head in? Surely one man and his monobrow could not stand alone against such a tide of beered-up hatred? I went to Leeds to find out. Fightstar’s an appropriate name for a band who’ve had to fight against one kind of fame in order to achieve another.
