  • 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).

  • Using Green Man Festival As a Case Study
    An Investigation to identify how festivals promotional techniques have developed over the years – using Green Man Festival as a case study Victoria Curran BA (hons) Events Management Cardiff Metropolitan University April 2018 i Declaration “I declare that this Dissertation has not already been accepted in substance for any degree and is not concurrently submitted in candidature for any degree. It is the result of my own independent research except where otherwise stated.” Name: Victoria Curran Signed: ii Abstract This research study was carried out in order to explore the different methods of marketing that Green Man Festival utilises, to discover how successful they are, and whether they have changed and developed throughout the years. The study intended to critically review the literature surrounding festivals and festival marketing theories, in order to provide conclusions supported by theory when evaluating the effectiveness of the promotional strategies. It aimed to discover how modern or digital marketing affected Green Man’s promotional techniques, to assess any identified promotional techniques and identify any connections with marketing theory, to investigate how they promote the festival towards their target market, and to finally provide recommendations for futuristic methods of promotion. The dissertation was presented coherently, consisting of five chapters. The first chapter was the introduction, providing a basic insight into the topics involved. The second contains a critical literature review where key themes were identified; the third chapter discussed the methodology used whilst the fourth chapter presents the results that were discovered, providing an analysis and discussion. The final chapter summarises the study, giving recommendations and identifying any limitations of the study.

  • Is It Just the Music? Towards an Understanding of Festival-Goers and Their Experience at UK Music Festivals
    Is it just the Music? Towards an Understanding of Festival-goers and their Experience at UK Music Festivals by Alyssa Eve Brown PGCert, BA (Hons), FHEA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire April 2019 i STUDENT DECLARATION FORM Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards I declare that while registered for the research degree, I was with the University’s specific permission, an enrolled student for the following awards: Post Graduate Certificate in Business and Management Research Methods Post Graduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Material submitted for another award I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work Signature of Candidate ______________________________________________________ Type of Award PhD__________________________________________________ School Lancashire School of Business and Enterprise ii Abstract Festivals are an adventure of the emotional and physical senses and can create unforgettable, exciting and thrilling memories of unfamiliar and unique experiences. With music festivals in particular, there is an additional emphasis on the chance to experience live music by often idolised musicians within a temporary community of shared musical interests. However, whilst a music festival may attract visitors through advertising an attractive and appealing line-up of popular acts, this far from guarantees a happy customer. There are many other elements that contribute to and impact upon the experience of the festival-goer (Morgan, 2008: 83). If these elements are managed well, this can result in benefits for both the consumer, through positive emotional and cognitive experiences, and for the organisation through repeat custom, recommendations and increased sales.

  • Comment Einstein's Garden 2009–2014: Unexpected Encounters With
    SISSA – International School for Advanced Studies Journal of Science Communication ISSN 1824 – 2049 http://jcom.sissa.it/ Comment SCIENCE FESTIVALS Einstein’s Garden 2009–2014: unexpected encounters with science Ellen Dowell ABSTRACT: Creating science content for cultural contexts in which the audi- ence are not primarily motivated by an interest in science, can provide exciting opportunities for experimenting with new approaches to science engagement. This article explores some of the learning gained, and practical methodologies developed by Einstein’s Garden, the science, nature and environment area of the Green Man Festival. Introduction Novel and unique experiences have been identified in previous research as important mo- tivating factors for audiences when attending festivals in a range of genres [1,2]. Novelty is also important in attracting audiences to participate in science-related activities in non- science leisure spaces [3]. It is therefore possible that generating inherently unexpected content, perhaps even perceived as incongruous, such as science-inspired activities within a music festival, has an immediate advantage in creating novel and unique experiences for the audience. This article explores just such a perspective and reflects on the first six years of developing Einstein’s Garden, the science, nature and environment area of the Green Man Festival. Morgan describes festivals as ‘extraordinary experiences’ set apart from everyday life [4]. Curating and producing science content within such an ‘extraordinary’ non- science context and for an audience who are not primarily motivated by an interest in science, provides exciting opportunities for doing science engagement differently. The approaches used in Einstein’s Garden are often overtly creative, visual or otherwise sen- sory, interactive and playful.

  • How Do the Promoters of Independent UK Music Festivals Organise And
    How do the promoters of independent UK music festivals organise and implement events? Danny Hagan BA (Hons), MA SuBmitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy London College of Music University of West London August 2019 Abstract The promoters of music festivals form part of an under-researched and somewhat neglected topic in the academic literature. Focus on events has largely centred on the needs and motivations of audiences, and on the consumption of festivals within a participatory culture. The emphasis in music studies has also Been concentrated on the recorded music industry, with the live sector often viewed as a secondary or less important area of study, despite the continued growth of the music festival industry. This thesis, therefore, redresses the Balance in Both these related areas, By exploring the practices and motivations of the Behind-the-scenes promoters who organise and implement these social and cultural events. The thesis looks first at the structures of the contemporary music industry and the place of independent UK music festivals in the live music ecology. It then considers, through the phenomenological perspective of the promoters, how music festivals are organised through a weB of social, economic and political relations and initiatives, and argues for the key role of the promoters in the production and distriBution of these experiential goods. Finally, it considers the individual practices and motivations of the festival promoters as the mediators of physical and social spaces, and questions the effects of implementing events on their mental health and wellBeing. 2 Table of contents Abstract ..........................................................................................................
