AbstractOn the basis of observational studies in a number of rock music festivals during the period 2004–2012, I ask the following question in this paper: how does the music festival community arise and how is it maintained? With the help of perspectives from interactionist sociology and organisational studies I develop an analysis of how rock music festival ‘skills’ are collectively produced. A communally acknowledged competence is negotiated and made explicit by means, among other things, of the synchronisation of a daily rhythm that becomes common to many festivals.

Abstract:
AbstractCornerstone was an annual four-day-long Christian rock festival in Illinois that ran from 1984 until 2012, first in Chicago's northern suburbs and then on a former farm in the rural western part of the state. Most attendees camped on-site, and many arrived one or two days early when the campgrounds opened before official programming started. Like many contemporary multi-day festivals in relatively rural or remote locations, Cornerstone's festival grounds and campsites functioned as a temporary village. For many attendees, music festivals have supplanted local scenes as loci of face-to-

At the beginning of the 1990s music events in SE Europe (concerts, festivals, cultural happenings) were either a part of political conflict, antagonisms and economic crises, or they were included in the music world through the cultural contacts of global achievements – the music net and industry.

Among the popular music festivals operating in Poland in the last forty years, two of them played a special role, especially for their young recipients of amplified music. The first of them was the Rock Festival in Jarocin (it had different names) functioning in the years 1980–1994, so still in the period of communist authorities. Reactivated in 2005, it recently operates under the name Jarocin Festival and uses the legend of the event from the 1980s. In the new socio-political conditions, the second important event, the Pol’and’Rock Festival (called Woodstock Station in 1995–2017), began to f

Abstract:
Music festivals mattered to the larger development of American live music along multiple fronts in the two decades following the founding of the Newport Jazz Festival. Most saliently, festivals helped to push the business of live music more and more toward large-scale production, laying the groundwork for the arena and stadium rock economy. Because they so often had an aura of idealism surrounding them, however, music festivals could never be reduced to strictly commercial ventures. The combination of scale and singularity gave festivals the aura they would come to possess and made them flash points for contests over cultural values that coursed through the musical styles put on stage. This chapter traces the development of US music festivals from the establishment of the Newport Jazz Festival in 1954, to the Newport Folk Festival in 1959, and then into the era of the rock festival in the late 1960s. In jazz and folk alike—and in rock, where the influence of both would loom large—festivals came to stand for a host of tensions that characterized the social role of popular music in the post-war era.

Abstract:
Burning Man, it could be argued, is the best party on the planet and one of the most elaborate and complexly engineered. Where else could you have a dance party on a large duck where everyone is dressed as their fantasy avatars; or sit on an art car called ‘The Bleachers’ designed like stadium seating to watch and be watched, complete with referees in the standard black and white attire directing playa traffic; or mount a double-decker bus that resembles an underground rave in Eastern Europe; or dangle from cables as you smash your opponent to hard core punk rock at the Thunderdome; or find yourself at a large open-aired dance party with over 5000 people dancing to the world’s most famous DJs and electronic music acts such as Bassnectar and Beats Antique? Burning Man has elevated the art of partying to epic proportions from mobile niche environments to large-scale international acts drawing crowds of thousands. At Burning Man, you can create your own experience and any desire you might have can be found and fulfilled on the playa. It is as if everyone’s fantasy is being played out simultaneously and it is in the collision of these fantasies that meaningful encounters occur. However, to confine and reduce analysis of Burning Man to ‘the world’s best party’ would be to overlook the intricate complexity and layers that constitute this epic annual desert event. The evolution and history of the event has been well documented from a variety of perspectives (See Doherty, Bowditch, Chen, Gilmore, and others) so I will not repeat those histories here. The first official book to chart the history of the event was Brian Doherty’s This is Burning Man: The Rise of a New American Underground (2006) mapping the early formative years of the event from its inception in 1986 on Baker Beach in San Francisco, the impact of the Cacophony Society on the development of the Burning Man ethos, to the transfer of the event to the Black Rock Desert in Nevada in 1990.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the contemporary issue of responsible production within the arts and entertainment industries, focusing on live music events and festivals in particular. In its broadest context the entertainment industry is vast, encompassing 18 unique sectors (Moss, 2009), each providing a plethora of tangible and intangible products that, according to Vogel (2007), is estimated at US$1 trillion annually. This makes it the largest industry in the world, generating more revenue and growing at an exponential rate as leisure time becomes increasingly important as an escape from,or antidote to, the pressures of modern life. Live events bridge the distinction between high art products which are considered as a ‘merit good’ (Pratt, 2005) and forms of popular culture and leisure that can be consumed both at home and in designated public spaces. Hughes (2000) states that live performance of both art and entertainment is a distinct area for management, as such events require active participation on the part of an audience. As pop/rock consumers can now choose from ‘an almost limitless number of events’ (Mintel Group, 2008) at any given time, the viability of continued growth in the industry becomes of real concern, and the impact of such intense consumption levels can no longer be ignored.

Abstract:
Abstract As rock ‘n’ roll evolved into the 1960s, gospel vocalizing and stagecraft continued to influence solo artists and vocal harmony groups that evolved from doo-wop to soul and Motown: Ray Charles, James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, the Miracles, the Temptations. The Dixie Hummingbirds and black gospel itself evolved against the backdrop of generational rebellion, civil rights unrest, war protest, and assassinations. The trend shifted from quartets to soloists and choirs, the gospel fan base broadening as the music became appreciated both as an art and as roots music form. President Kennedy was assassinated and in 1964, the Hummingbirds made their television debut on the program TV Gospel Time. They performed “Our Prayer for Peace” with a new verse about the assassination. The Hummingbirds adapted to the tastes of the times and remained Peacock’s most consistently bestselling gospel artists. Multiple tracks were recorded and strategically released as singles every few months followed by album collections. Robey sold the Peacock catalog to ABC records. The Hummingbirds had an international following and performed at venues such as Disneyland, Madison Square Garden, and both the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals. Paul Simon invited the Hummingbirds to collaborate on “Loves Me Like a Rock,” which in their own rendition won them their first Grammy. They also recorded with Stevie Wonder. The Hummingbirds suffered a setback in 1976 with the death of bass singer William Bobo. They soldiered on and more than six decades into their career were dubbed the “Iron Men of Gospel.”
