Because who doesn’t want to get the biggest bang for their buck and see more than one musical act perform in one day? Music Festivals go further back than the recent hype this generation has given them. Flashback to the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival to be specific. And if that doesn’t ring a bell then let’s use Woodstock. The 1969 event holds a place within American pop-culture history which became the inspiration for what festivals have evolved into today. What used to be “a communion of culture” according to Carlos Chirinos, a professor of clinical music and global health as New York University, has now become one of the most profitable and timely ways for artists to sell their music. “A group of people who were into the same type of music, they would come together. That was the driving force throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s until it became a profitable format,” shared Chirinos.
The Superbowl is widely known for its famous half-time show which would typically feature one or two major artists. However, as of four years ago (three if you don’t count 2021) they have stepped it up. Not only do we get a jaw dropping half-time show but we also get a three-day music festival leading up to it.
