Consumer vs. Showcase Festivals

Music festivals are all the same, right? No! Consumer festivals are organized for the happiness of the fans while showcase festivals were invented to create business value to the artists. We’ll be talking to organizers of both types of events to understand their differences, learn how artists can get booked for each type of event and the benefits they should be able to expect.

Let’s learn about what it means to be independent or to be signed to a major label, and how each path differs for artists, managers and other industry roles.
