If I had unlimited money from the job, I would love to work in music festival production. I aspire to work on music festivals because I love the idea of making a small world for a weekend where people can escape from their everyday lives, experience new things, and listen to good music. Not only am I extremely interested in the subject currently, but also I am already pursuing this dream, money excluded. I am following my aspirations in music festivals by volunteering at Vodoo, researching other festivals, and exploring possible internship opportunities. I haven’t been to many major festivals. My first one, Austin City Limits (ACL), was this October, and Voodoo will be my second festival. I’m really excited to work at Voodoo because I’d like to undergo the real experience of how to put on a music festival. I strongly hope that I end up loving my Voodoo experience, so I can better narrow my job options in the music industry.
If I were to be doing music festivals in five years, I hope to be on a production team. I do not think I’ll be ready to produce an entire festival in five years, but I believe I would be well-suited to do marketing or planning for the festival. I understand that this job can be gritty, stressful, and tiring, but giving music-lovers an unforgettable festival experience like I had at ACL seems like a wonderful reward. Plus, I’ll get to meet and work with big name artist, which I know I would love.
If I were to be doing music festivals in 10 years, I hope to either be producing small festivals locally or working as a leader on a team for big music festivals like Coachella or Lollapalooza. If I’m lucky, maybe I’ll be asked to work on festivals internationally because I really love to travel!
