Festival Preview is the one-stop source of daily-updated news, information, and involvement for North American music festivals of all genres. It serves the information needs of frequent festival-goers, those who attend multiple music festivals, concert series and special musical events each year.
The two differentiating factors are in the name:
Festival, because not only has the market shifted to live music but to music festivals, where consumers can see many artists economically and engage in an all-out, multi-day experience;
Preview, because festival enthusiasts spend more time getting ready for festivals than they do at the event. They need a resource that helps them choose which festivals to attend and to prepare to make the most of their experience.
We cover all genres of festivals and all regions of North America. Our users are frequent festival attendees—both younger fans of jam band and alternative rock festivals, but also older fans of bluegrass, jazz, and classical festivals.
Festival Preview offers the largest searchable database of music festivals of any online site; we have the richest festival detail pages; and our bloggers offer original, insightful commentary before, during and after the festival.
We provide free in-depth coverage of top-tier festivals to draw the audience, and charge a listing upgrade fee for other festivals that want equal coverage. As a media play, our model is based on advertising and affiliate commerce. We expect to be an important channel for tickets, music downloads, festival gear, travel services and more.
