What Live Streaming Does For Music Festivals

img001

Live Streaming in the US. Still a industry in its childhood, but one that can’t be done without.

2011-08_woodstock_59Music festivals in the United States are very popular and well attended, but much of the social media buzz which is generated surrounding these events is created by those not actually at the event, meaning there’s a significant void to be filled by live streaming.

 

Some Numbers:

Few industries in the US reach as many people as music festivals, with 1 in 10 Americans attending at least one every year. That means 32 million people attend at least one of the 800 festivals spread across the country, and many attend multiple events. The under-40 crowd is willing to go to greater lengths than ever to see a litany of their favorite artists in one place, traveling 903 miles on average to go to a festival. With VIP ticket prices for major festivals in the thousands, general admission can be as high as $400-$500.

So what does all this mean for livestreaming?

Social media is quite possibly the biggest driver behind the rapid growth of US music festivals. Events like Coachella, Burning Man, and Electric Daisy Carnival each generate millions of tweets. One may not realize how much of this social media buzz is created by people who are not physically in attendance. In a study of 20 million social media conversations, Eventbrite found that 23% of these posts were made by fans who weren’t physically at the show, meaning an additional 4.6 million people tuned in remotely via livestreams (Youtube, Twitch, etc). This is a particularly noteworthy number, simply considering the potential to monetize that large group of dedicated fans.

Consider EDC, for instance, the largest festival in the US with an estimated 150,000 attendees per day. Over the event’s 3 days, EDC’s overall attendance number is somewhere in the neighborhood of 500,000 people. To put that in perspective, the largest music festival in the country is still 9x smaller than the 4.6 million people who tune into festivals via livestreams. This is an untapped audience that festival can market and sell to.
