  • A Study of Female Representation in American Popular Music Festival Culture And
    A Study of Female Representation in American Popular Music Festival Culture and Audience Perspectives of Current Trends in the Music Industry Hannah Van Amburgh Introduction When music festivals featuring both popular artists and more underground genres first appeared in the United States in the mid-twentieth century, they provided individuals with an opportunity to escape from reality and join a community of fellow music enthusiasts and admirers. These events, such as the Monterey International Pop Festival in 1967 and the original Woodstock Festival in 1969, influenced the entire North American music culture and moved the rock and alternative genres into mainstream attractions (A History of Music Festivals, 2013). American music festival culture has flourished since the millennium, with live concert ticket sales replacing much of the loss recorded music sales have experienced as digital music services gain popularity and dominance in the industry (Parker, 2013). Despite the overall enthusiasm for music festivals in the United States, there has been a rather noticeable concern among the most popular festivals that brings the relevant consciousness of the live event production industry into question: where are all the women? This paper aims to explore how and why female performers are underrepresented in American popular music festival culture, as well as how festival attendees perceive the present gender imbalance in recent years. A literature review will survey sources that highlight this issue and will seek to provide evidence that a dissonance in gender representation actually exists, and is not simply a feminist call for expulsion of the patriarchy. The research and results from a survey distributed to attendees of recent American music festivals will then be evaluated to determine how a sampling of current audiences perceive gender trends in the music industry.
