The Problem
Why Festivals Struggle Today
Festivals don’t fail because of weak line-ups. They fail because they misunderstand their audiences.
Ticket culture has changed. Younger generations buy differently: later, unpredictably, and for reasons that go beyond discounts or headliners.
Campaign fatigue is real. Repeating the same marketing tactics doesn’t work when audiences are drowning in noise.
Sold out doesn’t mean success. A packed weekend isn’t enough if the cultural impact feels shallow or transactional.
Line-up ≠ resonance. A big name doesn’t guarantee emotional connection, loyalty, or long-term growth.
Without foresight into behavior, festivals risk becoming just another event — easily replaced, quickly forgotten.
