WHY WE ARE
DOING THIS?
Independent festivals are more than just events—they're communities, creative incubators, and transformative experiences that bring people together in a way mainstream festivals can't. But the reality is, the landscape is shifting, and many of these festivals are struggling to survive. Rising costs, post-pandemic shifts in audience behavior, and corporate consolidation are making it harder than ever for independent festivals to thrive.
We’re having this conversation because transparency matters. We want festival-goers to understand the challenges behind the scenes, the financial risks we take, and how their support (especially through early ticket sales and word-of-mouth) directly impacts whether these events continue. This is about more than just music; it’s about preserving spaces for connection, creativity, and culture.
