MEET THE FESTIVALS!  Festivals are being heralded as the saviors of the music industry and the only surefire way to get paid in this era of flux and economic anarchy. Every year we invite a handful of festival representatives to experience the fruits of our efforts, as well as to talk about the different realities festivals face in their respective cultural climates. Come hear from people from more than a dozen festivals about, for example, what makes Primavera unique, what La Route du Rock is doing differently, and what's going on in Oslo that makes Øya Festival necessary. See bio section for the list of festival representatives. Festivals include:
