  • 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).

Firefly Music Festival 2017 in Dover, Delaware, reached by DART #301 bus, is said to have attracted 90,000 fans. It’s time again to ride a bus, or train, to a music festival Dozens of multi-day music festivals beckon during summer 2017. Ranging from psychedelically spotlighted rock music events, where performers and audience both jump around and wave their hands into the air, to those where the audience sits quietly as a full-fledged symphony orchestra plays classical music, many, if not most, of them are readily reachable by public transportation. The following pages of this special Music Festival Supplement focus on popular jazz, rock and classical music festivals and how to get to them via public transportation. Getting particular attention is the Firefly Music Festival, a four-day rock music fest in Dover, Delaware, attended by Grampa, who rode there by SEPTA train and DART First State bus.
