School Coursework

Hi, as you can see i am a regular poster, and this is not spam. For my A2 media coursework, i am writing a piece with the question "How far can it be said that rock music is a dying genre" looking specifically at music festivals. So i am adding poll results in and would really appreciate if you could answer the question to help with my coursework. Cheers.

Just to clarify what i mean in the last question, recently music festivals are losing the rock feel to them, with there not been enough rock acts playing, prime example V Fest this year.

I personally think it's down to personal taste.

Yes rock is not as commercially successful as some of the acts at V, but that's only because the people that go there do not like that music. Plus there's loads of other festivals that have rock music- Reading/Leeds, Download, Sonisphere, plus Glasto and T probably have some

Could talk about the rise of more focused genre festivals like Sonisphere, Download and V. Also about how Glastonbury has diversified itself, Jay Z and Beyonce as headliners. Also maybe like Reading having it's own dance stage emerging even though its a traditional rock festival, not sure how long that's been there.

Also that Reading is slightly edging away from it's original rock roots around the same time that Download and Sonisphere become more popular.
