The article mostly references Coachella, a very popular festival thats been around for a while. It fails to mention the many smaller festivals happening all the time, with far less noteriety or corporate sponsorship. Of course Coachella sold out, almost everyone in any industry will once enough money becomes involved. But to apply a blanket statement that modern music festivals are dystopian corporate propaganda machines is just plain wrong.
- greatquux 9y agoExactly. Phish's festivals (which were a big inspiration for the people who started Bonnaroo and probably Coachella too) do not resemble the description in this article at all. Plus there are a lot of smaller festivals going on all over. So who's surprised that a big corporate festival is corporatized?
