As Splendour in the Grass is cancelled and Bluesfest kicks off, experts suggest music festivals may now be the playground of older, wealthier fans.
Splendour's cancellation follows those of Groovin' The Moo and last year's Falls Festival.Just a day after Splendour in the Grass was cancelled, Byron Bay's five-day Bluesfest has begun.
Bluesfest has also faced its fair share of problems, infamously being forced to shut down a day before the event in 2021 due to a COVID-19 scare.The decision may signal the end of the "multi-genre, something-for-everyone" approach to live music, according to an expert in the field. According to a study commissioned by the organisers, the event brings more than $200 million into New South Wales and employed 2,100 workers this weekend in addition to 700 performers.
