6.1 Comparing Festivals

There are two different types of festivals; one that raises awareness and the other which is mainly for entertainment purposes. The main difference between the two types of festivals is that the festival which are raising awareness are usually free as they want people to attend the festival to learn more and make a change. However the other festival is not free so you will have to buy tickets and pay to get in. Examples of awareness festivals would be ‘Love Music Hate Racism’ which is a free event and its artistic policy is to listen and enjoy music that would help people fight racism. An example of the paid festivals would be the V Festival. The V Festival is commercially sponsored meaning they raise money by fundraising and other organisations helping them raise the money they require. The V Festival’s artistic policy is to listen and enjoy the music and have fun.
