- #5 This Festival began in 1968, ¶ founded by Foulk brothers ¶ and was known as ¶ ‘The great south coast bank holiday pop festivity’.In 1970 ¶ it was known as the ‘largest human gathering in the world’ with¶ 600,000 people and over 50 performers such as The Who and Jimmy Hendrix. ¶In 2002 the festival was reformed in ¶Newport and has been annual ever since then. ¶The festival was ¶ sponsored by Nokia until 2004 and is now promoted by Solo¶Numbers grow each year with¶ 65,000 people in 2011. There have been performers of recent years including ¶ The Script, Calvin Harris, Pixie Lott and Amy Winehouse.¶
- #6 This British free festival was held in ¶ Salisbury between 1972 and 1984. ¶It has been characterised by celebrating the alternative cultures and the paganism. ¶It emerged as an outcome of the suppression of the ¶ Windsor Free festival. ¶This event gained major popularity in the 80s and ¶it attracted around 6500.¶It was considered the¶ best free festival worldwide in 1981 and¶ people who attended to this festival were considered hippies. ¶Bands¶ like Thompson Twins, Hawkind took a from touring¶ to perform at Stonehenge for no fee. ¶¶

- #8 Now moving onto a pestle analysis of the live music industry,¶Political:¶Some of the political factors affecting the industry include ¶tax increase within the government which also affects the economical budget¶Environmental responsibilities that should be taken up by government¶Government influencing youth within the music environment through behaviour and attitude ¶Music has a strong impact within the political movement such as the hippie movement. ¶Economical:¶Economical factors that affect the industry include the effects of ¶ the recession such as spending budget, however with successful development and a successful launch this can create more jobs¶¶Unlike London where the majority of people use an Oyster card outer areas still use ticket buying or cash within busses which may prove to be expensive for some users.¶ In 2011 an article was written titled “Live music events contribute 1bn to the UK Economy”*Talk about graphs*
- #9 ¶Social:¶Some Social factors which effect the industry are ¶The many health and safety regulations which must be taken into account by parties involved¶Social and cultural tradition is commonly defined through music such as free speech¶Whenever everyone comes together social status is forgotten and everyone shares an equal status ¶Due to these events social status is forgotten since music bonds the only thing that separates is age¶Technological:¶Advancements in technology have dramatically changed the music industry both in the studio and live events. Since the development of the internet, ¶ peer to peer downloads have increased and illegal¶ downloads have increaseddue to this musicians and record labels have lost millions of pounds in recordsales. Live events however have and can help an artist to earn their money. Unlike downloads which cant be supervised the buying of tickets to live events can be looked over and money is sure to be made through the purchase of tickets. An advantage to the development of the internet is promoting and advertising ¶live music events. advertisements can be placed on certain sites to help promote events. Furthermore the purchasing of tickets is also a lot more easier than just buying at the box office with the use of sites such as Ticketmaster¶, HMV and Ticket web. Technological advancements can also be seen when to setting up live performances, the music industry has moved dramatically from 4 track recorders to mixer desks that offer between 42-58 channels. ¶More instruments can be added without the loss of sound quality due to compression, ¶which is essential when people have paid good money for a good show
- #10 Live events will always have impacts both positive and negative ones¶Some social and cultural positive impacts concerts may have are¶¶Expanding cultural horizons¶Introducing new and challenging ideas ¶As well as allowing people from different backgrounds to connect¶However this can also influence bad behaviour ¶Social dislocation within communities ¶And community alienation Some positive ¶physical and environmental positive impacts it may have are ¶¶Transforming urban areas ¶Showcasing and raising awareness of the environment¶Improve transport and communities¶However it can also cause environmental damage¶Noise disturbance to locals¶And traffic congestion if not planned well
- #11 ¶Some positive political impacts it may have are ¶¶Heightening the UK prestige ¶Legitimises political ideologies¶And build nationalism ¶However this can cause misallocation of public finds, tax payers money falling into wrong hands¶May distract the public and politicians about serious issues which need to be dealt with¶And damage politician images ¶Some economic positive impacts¶ could be to¶ increase tour visits which in turn creates ¶new businesses and more ¶jobs pumping more money into the economy¶Some negatives this may cause is community resistance to tourists, prices of products may inflate and losses can be made financially to many parties.
- #12 Companies who play roles when creating or helping develop and launch events need to have ethics and guidelines, Ethics are described by Stanwick and Stanwick through “The values an individual uses to interpret whether any particular action or behaviour is acceptable and appropriate”…however some ethics are never met for example¶Ticket scams, this video explains everything you need to know about ticket scams¶¶Environmental factors can also play a large part in ethics¶, many people now are “greener” people and find that littering ¶ is an ethic that must be taken into consideration as well as Recycling¶Avoiding energy waste¶A report from the guardian from 2010 subtitled “The UK music industry is responsible for around 540,000 tonnes of greenhouse has emissions a year.” in the report it says “U2 were criticised last year (2009) for the carbon footprint of their world tour, which was estimated at the equivalent of a return flight to Mars.”¶In my opinion…However there are events such as the Lou Fest Festival which occurs every year to help promote environmental awareness
