Summer Music Festivals: Recession Proof?

By Andrew J.R.

From what I have read/heard everywhere, it seems like Coachella was extremely successful this year, even despite a crippled economy. So does this mean that this season of music festivals will continue to see the same success as previous years? Not necessarily, but it may be a good indication.

Today I found an interesting article that touches upon this subject.

I for one have already purchased a ticket for one day of the Pitchfork Music Festival, and am planning on going to all three days of Lollapalooza (line up announced!). With headliners like the Dead and Bob Dylan playing Rothburry, they are making it tough to ignore as well.

Are going to a festival this year, or will a sour economy keep you indoors?
