In recent years we have seen the proliferation in popularity of attending music festivals, this could be down any number of things, such as: Identity, the accelerated advancements in the music industry and bold advertisements. With music being every now and it being the most easy to access than ever before through the aid of such websites like YouTube, artists offer the chance to their fans by playing their music at festivals so that it’s not just the same music you can access online it’s also the experience of being there and apart of the music itself. Many people would now argue that Music festivals have become apart of British culture during summer time and that Music festivals have built up a reputation of being mainstream, especially some of it’s big and well known festivals such as Glastonbury, Latitude and V festival, it seems now that people attend the festivals more for the experience and the atmosphere as opposed to just turning up for the music, it’s seen in teenagers as ‘a rite of passage’ socializing with those around them interested in the same things as them giving them more self esteem and helping them redefine themselves by identifying with the people they spend time with, which could explain why festival goers continue to wear their wristbands for weeks afterwards.
