I just finished running the 10th year of my Festival of Texas Fiddling on a weekend where it was 40° and raining. Which is bad weather anywhere but particularly brutal in the Texas hill country. Nevertheless we had large enthusiastic crowds and whole event was (very happily!) a big success. I will follow up with more thoughts on running successful traditional music festivals. But I did want to share one obvious but important idea about sustainability. It's clear that if you great meaningful experiences that engage culture, nothing will stop people from seeking its sustenance.

Even in #middleage, I still love a good festival. A time to catch up with friends, discover new artists, and connect with different cultures. Plus, there's nothing like a little boogie with people you don't know to let loose. 💃 So, it's disheartening to see so many music festivals in #Australia collapsing! The aftermath of the #pandemic, soaring ticket prices, #environmental challenges, and a shift in younger #generations thoughts around multi-day events have led to a wave of major festivals cancelling across the country. Where does this leave the future of live music in Australia? What changes can we expect or need? Well Kara Ortiga with the help of Samuel Whiting from the University of South Australia and Simone Schinkel CEO at Music Victoria discussed some of this and more in our latest report. How can they continue to build on the shared interest of audiences, but also accommodate more niche tastes. How might they offer more flexibility with payment options, helping with #financialplanning and more than ever, how can they speak to the needs of #anxiousyouths I really do hope they can find the solutions, because some of my best memories involve a field, limited hygiene practices and being surrounded by friends, both old and very very new.

In a world with constant bombardment from digital advertisements, engaging with consumers face to face is PIVITOL for building brand trust & loyalty. This is especially true for younger generations, like Millenials and Gen-Z, who drive the demand for experiences. #eventmarketing #engagementmarketing #branddevelopment
This is why festivals are so impactful. Not because you reach 10,000+ in a single day. You align with people's passions. Whether it's music, food, or art, festivals are the place to be. It's also the highlight of people's summers. Come on, let's go to the festival!
