Southbank Centre, London organizes Ether Talk: Rob da Bank: Future Festivals on Friday 24 April 2009, at 8pm.
Music festivals are an essential part of the British summertime, moving beyond youth culture to embrace the mainstream. Legendary DJ and founder of Bestival Rob da Bank gives a personal account of the glory years in the A-Z of Festivals, crossing the globe from Coachella to Malawi's Lake of Stars, via Notting Hill.
He discusses where music festivals go next alongside Peter Elliot, agent for Basement Jaxx and Dizzee Rascal, James Barton, founder of the Creamfields festival in over 15 countries, and the writer and broadcaster Miranda Sawyer.
How can festivals continue to innovate, and will the digital revolution ever erode the appeal of 'being there' at the live event? -- www.southbankcentre.co.uk
