Music festivals: a high-risk business | FT Film 

They're *trash* , they don't pay any of their "workers", it's all on interns and volunteer basis. They get paid on food and t-shirts.

There are two kinds of people. Settlers and conquerers. Conquerers must have low environmental foot mark but big sociologic impact on their tours. Settlers or in this case capital city spirits must built with rocks and stones, but have only moderated influence on society.

@@RaulBaracus you make it sound like they dont choose to be there or something lol

We are looking into going into cultural festivals

yup in america we have insomniac events and they are thriving providing EDM raves galore.

me too!!! Good luck

Never back down never what

Yep, good luck lads

i’m scared

check out fyre festival documentary for a good laugh on what not to do...in 6 months.

@@jumpingjeffflash9946 just me, watched it a few times when it came out lol

Respect! I personally would not be in a music festival since it doesn't vibe with me but I can imagine the stress that comes with it. Probably only 2nd to a wedding planner for a bridezilla.

Stevie I'm in Montreal I'm a PM, summer is coming lets work together! Got some ideas. Ping me

Can you give us some tips? We’re trying to get into the business

So true

All the radio stations are now owned by similar faceless corporations. Eventually they become stale and people give up with them.

@@stanvanillo9831 thank you 👊🏿❤️🖤

Hello! I’m very interested to hear about your experience working with such a large organization such as Live Nation. I read that you were from Uganda, but were you made aware of the Astroworld tragedy that took place in Houston, Texas by Live Nation? How have they been acting since that?

@@senna3812 Greetings. I'm not affiliated with Live Nation, I've been doing the festivals independently.

You’re so right about the world needing music. I can’t imagine a life without it

The show will go on.

Like what

I also thought the documentary was great. It aged greatly as well.

My advice to anyone in the market right now is to seek guidance, it’s the best way to build long term wealth while managing your risk and emotions with the passive investing strategy.

@Charlie Woodward Success requires market knowledge and I made a very good choice adopting a financial consultant by name Maureen E. Jones. You can easily find her online. I’m sure she can play a vital part in your aim to achieve success.

Hey ! there’s a fee involved right ? I made the regret of my life tackling this volatile market by myself now it’s been red after red. I would love to get guidance considering how bad I have messed up my portfolio.

Really happy coming across comments about her on here, thanks to her I don’t have to bother about a market crash. Dividend investing has always been the best and through her platform I have been earning more than $50k every month.

The shorter the time frame you're looking to be in a play, usually the greater risk you're taking. The longer time you give yourself, the less risk involved as you are allowing yourself more time to hit your target.

not all of us, sadly

very telling, thanks for you comment man :)

Chile NEEDS more festivals. Antes de la pandemia hacíamos caleta de festivales, ahora con cuea queda el Lolla y Creamfields. Y todos en Stgo, por cierto. Y carísimos.

Nah. Probably money or connection to book A list bands. Imagine you try to Brand it with unknown nobody artists....

if at first you don't succeed.... keep going. and try to include the local community, they are a stakeholder as well.

Start small, find out local musicians or near local and talk with them and spread the information using fliers or social media, if you can convince them find a small venue see what happens, good luck

research "DIY festival organizing", there's some valid lessons for first timers in the underground free music scene. Or grassroots organizations, benefit festivals, etc.

Some people love to help set up in exchange for tickets

There are small festivals, like Dream fields was last week, EDC mexico, Vaivén, Bahidora... But yes there needs to be more parties, more Berlin type of night life

No, prisons shouldn't be there for punishing people for mistakes. People shouldn't be locked in somewhere to learn from their mistakes.

@@roothik I'm sure there's more than a few victims out there who would disagree that criminals shouldn't be locked up at the very least.

@@roothik 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Yea no thanks POC are uncivilized who hate their country. Be much better off n their homeland quit simping for ppl who hate u . Try to grow up n b a man

he seems like an ok guy but im sure being released back into your viscount family is helpful in avoiding reoffending

"entrepreneurs"

lots of ventures in creative industries start as passion projects, and just a few of them remain around to get the routine and experience for running smoothly a couple long standing festivals have managed that, for example Brutal Assault then again, it was the 25th one for them this year, so it"d be strange if it didn"t run well at that point

likely not, they'll have disclaimers printed on the tickets saying as much

Depends on the event. Multi day events may not but single day events typically will refund or reschedule

Mind telling me a couple of your experiences working them? I’d like to this summer and I could use some insight. Thankyou

My dilemma is I don’t have a well paid cushy albeit boring job 🥲 so it’s either full time event or starve

you want to put people and deafening sound together in an abandoned building?

@@leonard2794 Brilliant! Thanks a lot!

I hope people in the sector will try new things, maybe smaller scale, with more inclusion for local forces.

quit complaining and start your own festival then.

Elder Island - Kape Fear

yikes! How is that your financial responsibility though?

@@machupikachu1085 he took out a loan against our family property for the festival, we lost money on the Festival, then he passes away a week after. I still pay every month for a 3 day festival back in 2008

So I guess 14 years.... Feels like forever

@@wildhorsemusic1111 oh man. I'm sorry to hear that! If I ever make it out your way, beers are on me. Cheers!

Standon calling

That's not really entirely true at all. They make money, they just don't make MONEY, and F you MONEY is what they mean when they say they're not making any. BTW, the biggest acts in the world, aren't getting advances. They're fulfilling contracts. Want MONEY? Write the songs, become a sought after producer. This isn't the 70's anymore. No one is worshipping a guitar player any longer.

@@matthewburris769 lol no, they're just greedy. also touring is tiring, it's a carrer, lol. s/o les bénévoles mdr

been a pro for nearly ten years and never had more than 2k euros advance. made a bunch of albums that have done well. made a few flops. toured and made money. defs have toured and lost money. i had a seven piece band so touring was actually subsidised by our album sales!!!! after covid though i moved into doing music for different art forms like dance etc. the margins were already so tight after brexit and the pandy just underlined the lack of sustainability. im sure the youngens will work it out x

What kind of events do you plan ?

Do you have LinkedIn or some other platforms to connect with?

Travis scott is a satanist. For as long as people don't believe in it they will keep on getting away with all the awful things they do

Bad taste

Same with getting views right I mean I see your uploads don’t even have 150 views after a full year lol

it's free money

Doesn't suck to be him. Why are you mad? Did you want him to start a textile company, instead? Join the clergy?

@@matthewburris769 I'm not mad at him. I'm mad that FT considers this a high-risk-of-failure occupation whose entrepreneurs we should lionize, and it brings in a failson crook who managed to turn zero downside risk into prison time. Like taking some time to praise the Primitive Skills movement for how they have reminded society where we come from, and how much risk they undergo in survival situations, and then interviewing the Unabomber as a meritorious example.

@@TrogdorBurnin8or festivals cost millions to produce. So, only the richest can produce them. Would you rather Standon Calling didn't exist because the guy who puts it on is a trust fund baby?

ummm...that's why it's called high risk.

biggest irony/feature, they use the "cool hippies doing drugs and listening to music in fields" to sell Disneyland but with E. it's sad man.

Yeah who can afford a $500 ticket and another $500 for food etc? Seriously! And that's on the low end!

They need to break even on the festivals. It's art for commerce. People need to eat. Relax.

I'm still here.

What do you think costs more? Hiring a band of five people, or one guy and a laptop? If you want to see a full group of people perform - buy their albums and merch, go to a bunch of their concerts, and bring friends!! Only then can they have the funds to keep the band members on payroll, and not use a laptop. Simple as.

ummm...that's because you can lose millions in a day? Corporations give festivals a chance to survive. Would you rather festivals didn't exist to spread joy to millions of music fans?

Yeah, your RU-vid documentary on the subject was far more accurate. Way to show us how it's done!

Darwinism takes care of that.

Yes, it’s about the industry in the U.K. you plonker.

@@ma-moomoo Gotcha. No wonder it sucked so bad. Nobody cares about the UK
