Today we released the second installment of our two-part series on the state of the summer music festival, “Summer Festival Fever Spreads From Newport to Tennessee — The Summer Music Festival Part 2”
In this second half of our two-part series on the state of the summer music festival, we talk with some of the inheritors of Newport’s legacy; Jonathan Mayers of Superfly Productions and Jonathan Azu of Red Light Management about the inception and astounding growth of Bonnaroo. Billboard’s Ray Waddell discusses opportunities for growth in the saturated festival space, and EDM expert Robby Towns from the Music Business Association shares exactly what it is that sets EDM festivals apart.
