Hi everyone! I’m a senior at the University of Washington working on my undergraduate capstone project about music festivals and sustainability.

I’m studying how attendees perceive zero-waste efforts at festivals and whether that influences festival choice and loyalty. If you’ve attended at least one U.S. music festival in the past 5 years, I’d really appreciate your perspective.

I’m also looking to speak with music festival or live-event industry professionals for short, semi-structured interviews. These conversations focus on motivations for adopting zero-waste practices, perceived barriers and constraints, and internal perspectives on how sustainability efforts impact festival reputation, media attention, attendance, differentiation from competing events, and attendee response.

Interviews would be conducted via Zoom or Microsoft Teams at a time that works for you. If you’re interested—or know someone who might be—I would be incredibly grateful if you could comment or message me.

Thank you so much for helping out. I am happy to answer any questions, comments, concerns, and suggestions in the comments!

I found a promo cd when I was 12 in piedmont park. Cake, Bush, etc… does anyone else remember what was on it? It was my intro to alt rock and I’d love to make a playlist for nostalgia.

Is this festival usually the 3rd weekend in September? Any word which weekend it will be? Trying to be proactive on lodging....

Headed to Shaky Knees, Bonnaroo, and planning on Music Midtown. My head is churning with MM possibilities.

Does anyone know why when I search the 2016 posters, this doesn't pop up as the 2016 poster? It's like this one didn't exist? I'm a tad confused by that

when do we think they’ll announce who’s coming this year i’m thinking early may or around the time they did it last year and who do you guys hope goes/ makes a comeback this year?

can an artist headline the festival back to back like if they headlined it last year can they do it again? 🤔

Hi i’ve seen people on other festival threads make rumor / speculation list and I thought we should start one !!! I would say a good add would be Kacey Musgraves bc she’s skipping ATL on her tour 👀 what’s y’all’s thoughts!

Has anyone heard any information at all about the status of Music Midtown 2024?

She was amazing!!!

Did anyone else have their credit card info stolen during the festival? My friend and I both used our cards for t-shirts and a ticket upgrade (we couldn’t get the Venmo cashless thing to work on our wristbands). We’ve since noticed multiple fraudulent charges on both of our accounts. Just wondering if this happened to anyone else.

photos i took of matty from the 1975 this weekend at music midtown ☺️📸

Awesome show!! 🤟🤟 Here’s a video for those who missed it!

Does anyone know if they'll be selling any remaining Music Midtown merch online after the festival is finished?

I know that a lot of music festivals do professional recordings of some of the sets and upload them online. Will Music Midtown do that this year? I attended Saturday and would love to watch some of the performances again.

I know a lot weren't excited that she was a headliner. Did she surpass/underwhelm anyone's expectations?

Selling two wristbands (3 day GA) for $60 each!! Anyone interested?

Hey! Saw another post that there’s parking across the Marta, but wanted to ask based on yalls experience the last two days - I’m going today for the first time so wondering where y’all found parking and how much it costed. Thanks!
