It's time to return to one of Alter Solutions Portugal's best moments in 2024 (until now 😉)   Below, is a summary of the Santos Populares festival in Lisbon 🎥   #altersolutions #actdigital #itservices #itsolutions

Earlier this month at Eurosonic Noorderslag (ESNS), festival chiefs identified some of the key issues facing the festival sector today. 🌍 Supply chain issues “We have to invest and pay much more for the stuff that’s coming in. And that translates to ticket prices that are rising faster than inflation, which is already high – that’s what is the most worrying issue for me.” Eric Van Eerdenburg(Lowlands) 💰 Cost of living “The cost of hotels for the audience was maybe €100 per night, so for three nights practically, accommodation was ridiculous, which in the long term could kill the festival because it’s not sustainable.” Codruta Vulcu (ARTmania) 🎸 Booking international talent “It’s the international stadium acts that we have to look at as our headliners, which is also difficult when there are so many stadium tours happening. Stadium tours are definitely competitors for us during the summer.” Virag Csiszar (Sziget) As we fast approach the 2024 festival season, consumer ticket buying habits and pricing is a hot topic in our research. In unpredictable times, understanding your audience can help you find effective solutions that help your customers while protecting your business. That’s where we come in. Better data means better decisions. Thanks to Gordon Masson/IQ Magazine. (Full article in comments)

🎤 Operating festival logistics in Brazil is no small feat – especially in the Northeast. Brazil is a continent-sized country, and moving artists and crews across such vast distances presents enormous challenges. But recently, the situation has become even more complicated with skyrocketing airline ticket prices. These excessive costs hit us where it hurts the most: the production of shows and festivals. The impact on the Northeast is particularly harsh, limiting the ability to bring in big acts and making the entire scene harder to sustain. The reality is clear: this scenario has to change if we want to develop the region’s cultural landscape. Until then, my strategy is to focus on promoting regional artists, building stronger local line-ups that reflect our unique identity. To draw the crowds, we can still bring in a major name from outside – not as the main event, but as a hook to attract attention and open doors for local talents to shine. We need creative, sustainable solutions to overcome these logistical barriers. The Northeast has cultural strength and diversity in abundance – all we need is the right support to unleash its full potential. #EventLogistics #BrazilianCulture #FestivalProduction #RegionalTalent #SustainableEvents #NortheastBrazil

What came first, the city 🏙  or the festival 🎎 ? Okay, it’s almost always the city, but when the right festival / platform finds its niche in the perfect place, the location is often forever changed as well. Cities and their landmark festivals share a symbiotic relationship. Just think of the perfectly paired duos of Art Basel and Miami Beach; SXSW and Austin; Coachella and Indio, California, Cannes Lions or Film Festival at Cannes. An interesting read where we see so many factors at play - the convergence of local + global, destination marketing, co-creation between culture creators and city makers. What are other key shows, events, festivals that have placed their hometowns on the global calendar... #culturemarketing #artbasel #globalevents #globalcalendar #destinationmarketing #festivals https://lnkd.in/dTA7GMfB

🇪🇺 Preparing with Nele Hertling two sessions for the European Festivals Association summit in Usedom, here are some of the questions we will address: 🌳 *Mon. 13 May: Denis de Rougemont Lab: Experimenting democracy* Why do we choose to create a festival? To promote an artistic form, to respond to a local need or commission? How does an idea, vision, desire germinate? How does a founder (a person, a group) mobilise around this idea, analyse needs, find resources and strengths? How is the festival project organised over time, and what are the consequences for the group in terms of its composition, skills, mode of action and governance? What weakens the core group or, on the contrary, makes it more robust? 🏡 *Tue. 14 May: Festival Cities and Regions Workshop* ❓ What is new in your relation between cities and festivals that you think is relevant to share with the other cities and regions? ❓ What are the methodologies used by cities and regions to consult their festivals: How do cities and regions initiate and strengthen their dialogue with their festivals? How do cities ‘value’ their festivals - in which policy areas and actions do they address festivals? How do festivals define their relation with their cities beyond funding opportunities? We are tapping into the variety of experiences and political ideas of relation ❓ What is the state of play of the work in progress of the EFFE Seal for Festival Cities and Regions focusing on Environmental Sustainability. 😎 Hope to see you at the Baltic Sea!

March 24 | Sunday | 4:00pm RSVP: http://surl.li/rvbbg In parallel, global festivals such as the Edinburgh International Book Festival have undergone strategic revamps, both thematically and logistically, to stay relevant in a rapidly changing world. Similarly, major events like the Jaipur Literature Festival have experienced metamorphoses over the years. As we contemplate the future, questions arise about how these festivals will evolve in response to the interplay between city dynamics, societal shifts, and cultural influences. What trajectory will these festivals take, especially concerning their interactions with the burgeoning landscape of events like the Bangalore Literature Festival? The answers lie at the nexus of urban life, cultural expression, and the ever-evolving festival landscape.

Behind Every Great Festival Is a Year of Planning—Here’s Why Timing Is Everything Planning a festival isn’t a task for the faint-hearted. It’s a meticulous, well-oiled machine that requires a minimum of 9 months to a year of preparation to truly hit the mark. From the very first brainstorming session to the final touches, every detail counts. Imagine coordinating with artists, securing venues, managing ticket sales, and creating an atmosphere that will leave attendees talking for months—none of this happens overnight. It’s a process that requires dedication, precision, and a deep understanding of what makes a festival truly epic. The secret to a flawless festival experience lies in the months of behind-the-scenes work that you’ll never see. But trust us, every minute of planning is worth it when you see the joy on festival-goers’ faces. This is why timing is everything. A well-planned festival isn’t just an event; it’s a carefully crafted experience that’s designed to create lasting memories. So, if you’re thinking of throwing your own event, remember: start now, because good things take time. #FestivalPlanning #EventProfs #BehindTheScenes #FestivalPass #EpicEvents
