Jonathan R. Wynn, 2017 PEP Fellow, writes an essay originally published by The Conversation and republished in the Washington Post, Louisville Courier-Journal and the Eugene Register-Guard about whether there are now too many music festivals in the country leading to dropping attendance. Wynn also looks at how the festivals have become increasingly commercialized and what effect that has on attendees and performers. He says we may have reached a point where “festival fatigue” is setting in.
