'We're f—ked': California's music festival bubble is bursting

I’m curious to know if anyone else is feeling the over saturation of music festivals in California and even the broader US. Personally, between the insane ticket prices, lineups, and other costs that go into attending a festival, It’s quite exhausting. You can practically feel all of the major music festivals competing to get the best talent, with goldenvoice having the noticeably deeper pockets with how good the Portola lineup was compared to crssd.

There are too many festivals and we’ve seen an emergence in festivals that cater towards more of the house & techno crowd (Portola, crssd, ARC, Factory93 I definitely can’t attend them all, as much as I’d love to support my favorite artists. It feels like there’s a new insomniac music festival or event every other week in LA or some other part of the US. There’s no way the current state of music festivals is sustainable.
