When I think of festivals, I think of the people I have met and the unforgettable memories I have made. Festivals are no longer just for entertainment —they are cultural spaces where music, art, and community collide.

85% of Gen Z believe that festivals are essential spaces for connection, authenticity, and creativity. In a time when connections increasingly happen through screens, festivals remind us of something deeply human: the need to gather, celebrate, and share experiences in real life. However, the landscape is shifting: Rising costs, the pressure to innovate and shifting audience expectations have forced many events to either adapt or disappear entirely.

In this whitepaper we uncover the trends shaping tomorrow’s festivals.
