  • 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).

  • Live Music Matters Scottish Music Review
    Live Music Matters Simon Frith Tovey Professor of Music, University of Edinburgh Scottish Music Review Abstract Economists and sociologists of music have long argued that the live music sector must lose out in the competition for leisure expenditure with the ever increasing variety of mediated musical goods and experiences. In the last decade, though, there is evidence that live music in the UK is one of the most buoyant parts of the music economy. In examining why this should be so this paper is divided into two parts. In the first I describe why and how live music remains an essential part of the music industry’s money making strategies. In the second I speculate about the social functions of performance by examining three examples of performance as entertainment: karaoke, tribute bands and the Pop Idol phenomenon. These are, I suggest, examples of secondary performance, which illuminate the social role of the musical performer in contemporary society. 1. The Economics of Performance Introduction It has long been an academic commonplace that the rise of mediated music (on record, radio and the film soundtrack) meant the decline of live music (in concert hall, music hall and the domestic parlour). For much of the last 50 years the UK’s live music sector, for example, has been analysed as a sector in decline. Two kinds of reason are adduced for this. On the one hand, economists, following the lead of Baumol and Bowen (1966), have assumed that live music can achieve neither the economies of scale nor the reduction of labour costs to compete with mass entertainment media.

    DF Concerts 24/08/2010 19:27 Promoting Business Martin Cloonan (University of Glasgow) and Simon Frith (University of Edinburgh) We are presently in the final year of a three year AHRC funded project on the history of live music promotion in the UK since 1950. Our interest is in the ways in which both the economy and the experience of live music have been affected by the social, cultural and technological changes in Britain over the last 60 years and our project is thus deliberately ambitious in scope. Here we want to focus on one aspect of the research: the nature of live music as a business. This interests us partly because it is a neglected topic (in as far as people have examined the economic history of music in Britain since 1950 they have focused on the rise—and more recent fall—of the record industry) and partly because the common sense knowledge of live music is so contradictory. The anonymous peer reviewer of one of our team’s academic papers dismissed the claims we made for promoters’ economic importance, on the grounds that, as everyone knows, promoters are just crooks and chancers, an interesting remark in the light of the rise in the last decade of the US corporations, Live Nation and AEG, who are now the dominant players in British live entertainment. Even during the course of our research media reporting has moved from gloomy accounts of live music venues closing to excited assertions that they are booming. What is clear is that the live music is an unusual kind of business and in this paper we will examine its peculiarities and their effect on its history.

    20072007 ANNUALANNUAL REPORTREPORREPO T TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS We continued to demonstrate success in 2007 in executing our strategic plan. We took multiple steps to transform Live Nation into a vertically integrated live music company that directly unites artists, fans and sponsors across all revenue generating products. We are moving ahead to capitalize on our global concert platform as artists look for expanded and new business partners. Reaching an agreement in principle with U2 for a 12-year exclusive partnership is another signifi cant validation that Live Nation is the most attractive option for the biggest artists in the world. Madonna, and now U2, believe in Live Nation and our promising future as a highly innovative music company that is responding quickly to changes in the music business landscape. As a result, we believe Live Nation is a signifi cantly stronger organization, strategically and fi nancially, than only one year ago. Over the next year, we will continue to build on our three core strategies: • Grow our global concert platform internally • Prepare to launch our global ticketing, online business in 2009 • Continue to enter relationships with touring artists for longer and wider product lines centered around our core concert business When we launched Live Nation in December 2005, the company had been declining in overall profi tability for the previous few years. We set out to stop the decline and turn Live Nation into a growth company by running our core business better and by expanding into new revenue streams. In 2007, we set out to do four main things, all of which we achieved – to improve our North American Music operations, grow our International Music platform, launch the Live Nation Artist division and defi ne our Ticketing/ Online future.

  • Festival Industry and Funding Models
    Festival Industry and Funding Models This research report focussed on providing an insight into the music festival industry and in particular associated business models. Industry Overview UK Music estimates that 3.9 million people attended a festival in the year 20161. There are no official counts of how many music festivals are held in the UK, however they have become increasingly popular and estimates sit at well over 500 (see further sources). As there are many different forms of music festival such as single day festivals and bi-annual ones, it can be quite difficult to measure. One website tracking UK music festivals identifies there are 116 music festivals in the period of June 2018-2019 in the South West alone2. Due to the many music festivals in operation at present, one challenge that those in the industry face is market saturation. This has several potential consequences attached, primarily making it more difficult to sell tickets. Additionally, the associated costs such as hiring musicians, venues and catering also become higher as competition increases3. One of the ways the success of a music festival can be measured is through music tourism; non-local people travelling to attend a festival. Money is both injected into the festival and local economy from attendees that would otherwise not have been in the location. Music tourists contribute to the local economy both directly, through purchasing tickets and spending money at the festival, and indirectly such as through travel, accommodation and spending in the local economy. This value is distributed differently around the UK, with hubs like the South East and the South West having a greater share of music tourists than areas like the North East.

It supports a report, ‘From Glyndebourne to Glastonbury: The Impact of British Music Festivals’, published by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, launched at Cheltenham Jazz Festival on 29th April 2016. Authors: Dr Emma Webster and Professor George McKay University of East Anglia February 2016 Author: AB Associates Ltd Year: 2003 Title: Social and Economic Impact Assessment of Shetland Music Reference Type: Report Location: Publisher: Scalloway: AB Associates Ltd Number of Pages/Page numbers: 104 Keywords: Shetland, economic impact, social impact, income, expenditure, tourism, employment, volunteers, folk music, SWOT URL: http://www.shetlandarts.org/images/2009/06/Social-and-Economic-Impact-Assesment- of-Shetland-Music-2003.pdf Date accessed: 17-Dec-15 Abstract: The main purpose of the study is to provide baseline data on the scale and nature of the music industry in 2002, to assess its economic and social impact, and to identify some of the key issues and opportunities facing the industry. Research Notes: The report estimates the economic impact of two Shetland music festivals as being £117,000 in 2002 (the Folk Festival, and Fiddle and Accordion Festival), and the time spent by voluntary helpers amounted to the equivalent of half a job over a year, i.e. 0.5 FTE. In addition, it is estimated that visitors to the Festivals spent a further £69,000 indirectly on accommodation, food, etc.
