Are music festivals going to remain this popular forever? Will

Music festivals need to hurry up and die so that artist can go back to doing normal tours.

One word

guarantee

And I'm referring to the contract term

on the topic of too many music festivals, i feel like any band with $40+ tickets just headlines a bunch of festivals instead of a summer tour

which is good for them, but i dont want to drop $80 for a single day of singer songwriters, local hip hop and then Wilco or some shit at the end.

Festivals have been going on long since you and i were born.
they'll still be going on after we die.

imagine a nail bomb going off in that crowd

Lolla sells out in 20 minutes people dropping $500 for the weekend before they even know who's going to be there

While people have been playing music outside on stages since the dawn of time, the current style of festival is about ~25 years old

I'm curious as to what direction they'll go in the future.

nope

Probably for a more luxury, all-inclusive experience for rich people who wanna hang out with other rich people. Coachella, Gov Ball, and Lollapalooza tier festivals will start to be the norm everywhere. If Fyre wasn't a disaster it'd probably set a standard going forward.
