PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 07, 2013 (Press-News.org) While the 2013 Austin City Limits Festival will not occur until October, Texas resident and music aficionado Travis Gilpin explains that the growing popularity of music festivals already has many fans anticipating what the Austin event will bring. A recent article from Leigh Valley Live highlights the "thriving 2013 music festival season" and states, "Coachella and Lollapalooza sold out. Bonnaroo's nearly there, too. But eager fans need only be patient: Wait a few years and chances are you'll have a star-studded music festival of your own within driving distance."
The article continues to explain that as regional music festivals become more popular--and demanded--that it has become increasingly more difficult for event promoters to attract leading and up-and-coming acts. Despite these concerns, Charles Attal of C3 Presenst--the producer behind Austin City Limits Festival--tells Leigh Valley, "There's always going to be complaints about every lineup. You have to look at tickets sales. If they're selling out in an hour, it's the fan experience. I don't think it's about one band."
Still with the Austin City Limits lineup not even announced yet--scheduled for May 7th--some fans are concerned if the festival will deliver. Travis Gilpin, a longtime supporter of the Austin City Limits program explains, "The Austin City Limits Festival is one that is built on a history of breakthrough performances that have been televised since the 70s. Given this reputation, I know that this event will have some great acts lined-up. Even if the performers at the festival fail to satisfy--or cause tickets to sell out quickly--music fans will always have a chance to appreciate the performances that occur on the actual Austin City Limits program each week."
While fans struggle with questionable lineups and limited ticket availabilities, Ashley Capps--co-founder of the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee--states in the article, "I do think that there's really plenty of opportunities for people to create some great festival experiences. In fact, I think in many ways the audience in America is just now starting to fully embrace festival culture."
For Travis Gilpin, these events offer noticeable benefits--not just to fans--but to the communities that support festivals. "As a resident of Austin, I know how events like SXSW and Austin City Limits Festival have greatly changed the landscape and appreciation of the city. The fact that Austin City Limits decided to expand the festival to two separate weekends is just one of the many indicators that show how powerful these events can be. While festival culture will continue to change and gain criticism from music fans, it is also important to recognize what this trend is doing for local commerce, tourism and the entertainment industry," Travis Gilpin concludes.
