In this panel discussion we celebrate boutique festivals while exploring how they can be sustained and expanded. Today, new music is often driven by algorithms and viral trends, making it even more challenging for festivals and to discover talent and connect with their community. What makes these festivals stand out? How do they operate and develop across Europe and how do they connect with bookers and artists in their niche? How do they compete with major festivals? And how can a festival and its audience grow together without losing their identity?
