Music Festivals
In the last 10 odd years, music festivals have grown into a massive juggernaut. There are big-ticket events with matching prices and an endless stream of world-class performers.
Origins:
Music Festivals date back to ancient Greece, while modern ones became popularized in 1969 with the Woodstock. Music Festivals gained massive popularity since then, being extremely attractive to sponsors and attended by more than 32 million people, earning millions of dollars.

Commercial Viability
Artists see music festivals as a better and easier way of making money, as opposed to record sales(not happening now) or long tours that are done at their own expense.
Music Festivals are now big business and many big companies like Live Nation and AEG Live strengthen the festivals with their organizational capacity and professionalism. Promotions like a ‘Festival Passport’ allowing access to over 100 festivals are lucrative and popular.
