Music Festivals and the Politics of Participation

Om Music Festivals and the Politics of Participation

The spread of UK music festivals has exploded since 2000. In this major contribution to cultural studies, the lid is lifted on the contemporary festival scene. Gone are the days of a handful of formulaic, large events dominating the market place. Across the country, hundreds of ¿boutique¿ gatherings have popped up, drawing hundreds of thousands of festival-goers into the fields. Why has this happened? In her richly detailed study, industry insider Roxy Robinson uncovers the dynamics that have led to the formation and evolution of the modern festival scene. Tracing the history of the culture as far back as the fifties, this book examines the tensions between authenticity and commerce as festivals grew into a widespread, professionalized industry.
