'I'm
going to camp out on the land … try and get my soul free'. So sang Joni
Mitchell in 1970 on 'Woodstock'. But Woodstock is only the tip of the
iceberg. Popular music festivals are one of the strikingly successful
and enduring features of seasonal popular cultural consumption for young
people and older generations of enthusiasts. From pop and rock to folk,
jazz and techno, under stars and canvas, dancing in the streets and in
the mud, the pleasures and politics of the carnival since the 1950s are
discussed in this innovative and richly-illustrated collection. The Pop Festival
brings scholarship in cultural studies, media studies, musicology,
sociology, and history together in one volume to explore the music
festival as a key event in the cultural landscape - and one of major
interest to young people as festival-goers themselves and as students.
