For decades, millions of music fans have gathered every summer in
parks and fields to hear their favorite bands at festivals such as
Lollapalooza, Coachella, and Glastonbury. How did these and
countless other festivals across the globe evolve into glamorous
pop culture events, and how are they changing our relationship to
music, leisure, and public culture? In Everyone Loves Live Music,
Fabian Holt looks beyond the marketing hype to show how festivals
and other institutions of musical performance have evolved in
recent decades, as sites that were once meaningful sources of
community and culture are increasingly subsumed by corporate
giants. Examining a diverse range of cases across Europe and the
United States, Holt upends commonly-held ideas of live music and
introduces a pioneering theory of performance institutions. He
explores the fascinating history of the club and the festival in
San Francisco and New York, as well as a number of European cities.
This book also explores the social forces shaping live music as
small, independent venues become corporatized and as festivals
transform to promote mainstream Anglophone culture and its
consumerist trappings. The book further provides insight into the
broader relationship between culture and community in the
twenty-first century. An engaging read for fans, industry
professionals, and scholars alike, Everyone Loves Live Music
reveals how our contemporary enthusiasm for live music is more
fraught than we would like to think.
