Catherine Anne Humphreys B.A. (Hons) Events Management April 2017 i Declaration ‘’I declare that this Dissertation has not already been accepted in substance for any degree and is not concurrently submitted in candidate for any degree. It is the result of my own independent research except where otherwise stated’’. Signed …………………………………………. Name …………………………………………. ii Abstract This study critically investigated the key themes, issues and trends within boutique festivals in the UK as represented by the UK media over the ten-year period 2007 - 2017. This was achieved through a discourse analysis of UK magazine and newspaper articles. All media data was sourced online using the search engine ‘Google’. In order to achieve the aim the researcher first created a set of objectives to be met. These objectives began with a critical review of the current literature surrounding the festival industry with specific reference to the boutique genre and focus on associated themes, issues and trends. A conceptual framework was created from the discussed secondary data within the literature review. A suitable research methodology was created and secondary data was collected through the search engine ‘Google’ specifically ‘Google/news’. The secondary data consisted of online newspaper and magazine articles from UK publications, relevant to the boutique topic that is the focus of this study. The researcher used qualitative discourse analysis to identify common thoughts, themes, trends and issues within the examined data, followed by a discussion and analysis of the researcher’s interpretation of the results. The study found that the boutique festival market in the UK is continually growing, and as the public's disillusionment with the developing issue of a corporate culture within the festival giants develops, boutique festivals are continually gaining popularity. Sponsorship, commercialisation, event and environmental sustainability issues are found to be common regarding boutique festivals. Boutique festivals are found to be multi-genre, multi-generational, family-friendly events, independent from corporate ownership, involving a wide range of activities, workshops and more creating an immersive environment. The key defining factor of boutique festivals is found to be that they offer a unique experience. Creativity, innovation and consumer participation are found to be a focus within boutique festivals, and fancy dress is found to be a growing trend. This study has made valuable contributions to the existing body of academic knowledge and provides a platform for father related research in the future.

  • 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).

THINK AGAIN With younger festival goers increasingly priced out of the game, today’s festival audience largely comprises Millenials, people in their thirties. This also explains the increasing number of festivals catering for families, cultural, literary and culinary enthusiasts. It also means an opening of the way for brands that previously might have never thought about investing in a festival. And a growing number are realising this is an environment that can yield results; there’s a lot more to festivals than mud, booze, rock and roll.

Our campaign highlights the issue of morning after drink driving in an informative and non-threatening manner. We provide people with information to help them make an informed decision as to whether they will be safe and legal to drive the ‘morning after’.
