Our popular music festivals are places for cultural exchange, we promote openness and tolerance and an escape from reality for a couple of days. But this reality can also mean that such events are exposed to hostility because they contradict a political or social agenda. As popular and influential as a festival can be, the thorn in the side of its opponents can also be just as big. If you consider the political shifts of our time, it is clear that we are not just talking in theory here. Is it about people or a lifestyle? Is it about artistic freedom or cultural reach? We need to talk. This can manifest itself in various ways and we want to find out how festivals and organizers position themselves in this regard.
