Even in #middleage, I still love a good festival. A time to catch up with friends, discover new artists, and connect with different cultures. Plus, there's nothing like a little boogie with people you don't know to let loose. 💃 So, it's disheartening to see so many music festivals in #Australia collapsing! The aftermath of the #pandemic, soaring ticket prices, #environmental challenges, and a shift in younger #generations thoughts around multi-day events have led to a wave of major festivals cancelling across the country. Where does this leave the future of live music in Australia? What changes can we expect or need? Well Kara Ortiga with the help of Samuel Whiting from the University of South Australia and Simone Schinkel CEO at Music Victoria discussed some of this and more in our latest report. How can they continue to build on the shared interest of audiences, but also accommodate more niche tastes. How might they offer more flexibility with payment options, helping with #financialplanning and more than ever, how can they speak to the needs of #anxiousyouths I really do hope they can find the solutions, because some of my best memories involve a field, limited hygiene practices and being surrounded by friends, both old and very very new.

My reflection on the importance of visitor engagement in sustainability initiatives at music festivals. Rather than making visitors part of the problem, we should involve them in being part of the solution. #visitors #engagement #live #music #events #sustainability #planetpositiveevent #atojazz #festival #sofia #bulgaria #womeninbusiness #eventindustry #eventfreelance #eventmanagement #eventoperations #freelance #experience

We're working with a brilliant, award-winning music festival in Bristol. Music, as it should, takes centre stage. However, what I love about the design process is when the realisation happens. The realisation that the brand that we have designed with them, captures the spirit of who they are. It’s music to my ears. #branding #festivalbranding #designprocess
