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.

And how can a festival and its audience grow together without losing their identity?
