Festival Fever
音乐节热潮——约翰·吉丁、梅尔文·本、彼得·佛罗伦斯
讲座背景
如今，形形色色的音乐节发展得越来越火爆。通常一个音乐节会持续数天，如同一场大型庆祝聚会一般。而音乐节的魅力除了与心仪的偶像零距离接触以外，还为年轻人提供了一个狂欢的场所。他们往往会精心打扮，前去参与这样庞大的音乐盛宴。
然而，并非所有的音乐节都会大获成功，使得音乐爱好者们趋之若鹜地前往。那么，决定一场音乐节成功与否的因素是什么呢？
2008年，英国公开大学的财经栏目小组采访了三位音乐节主办方的相关人员，谈到了举办音乐节对一个地区会带来哪些影响。毕业于哈佛大学设计学院的建筑师、电视演员、设计师约翰·吉丁John
Gidding谈到了邀请哪些表演者前来参与的重要性以及举办音乐节对地区经济的积极影响。梅尔文·本Melvin
Benn是Festival Republic音乐节的总经理，他谈到了举办音乐节的盈利模式。彼得·佛罗伦斯Peter
Florence则是海氏音乐节总监，他主要谈到了作为主办方的一些想法。

On the importance of headliners
You just have to gauge it yourself.I remember,last year,I booked
the Rolling Stones after we?d sold the event out.And everybody said
to me why do you want to pay them all of that money when you could
have made that as profit? And I thought well,if I got run over on
the Monday at least I was the person who brought the Rolling Stones
to the Isle of Wight.
And also,what it does is,you can go to the Foo Fighters,to Muse and
say we had the Rolling Stones last year.And it?s all to do with
that premier league of artists.I remember with Coldplay they kept
saying no,no,no,then they did the Brits,and they said you won?t be
seeing us for a long time,and the press interpreted it as them
splitting up.And I said well the way to prove you?re not splitting
up is to come and play the Isle of Wight Festival,which they
did.
It?s a combination of knowing what?s going on,we?re lucky we?ve
been in the music business a long time,so we know what these
headline attractions can draw when they do their own shows.
On the competitive market
I think in England there are four major festivals.The Isle of
Wight,Glastonbury,the V?s and Leeds Reading,and that means there
are 11 nights a year that have to be filled by major headliners,so
that?s a competition in itself,you are bound to get some
repeats.
There?s also a raft of other events every weekend,boutique
festivals that are competing against you because how much money
have people got? Do they want to go to a festival every weekend?
And what?s becoming more apparent is kids are more prepared to
travel to southern Europe because the weather is more
guaranteed,and it?s cheaper to get in.They get a bigger range of
UK?based artists because they don?t mean that much south of the
Isle of Wight,so they?ll play for cheaper abroad.

关于参与艺人的重要性
你只需自己衡量。我记得去年，我们把音乐节的票全部卖出去之后，我预约了滚石乐队。所有人都对我说，你本来可以从中赚取利润的，为什么你要把这钱都给了他们？而我想，嗯，如果星期一我的音乐节赔钱了，但至少是我把滚石乐队带到怀特岛的。
