Not that we have been following this, but I would like to run the “North American Festival Booking Simulation” soon.
For those who missed my posts about it, festivals would directly negotiate with agents to book certain acts. For example, if you were booking Bonnaroo, you should contact whoever the agent is for Radiohead to book them. You would have a budget and the cost would be negotiated between you and the agent.
I'm itching to run the next draft, and I have 3 ideas.
1) the TV draft mentioned in the first couple pages of this thread
2) 2023 festival lineup predictions, like the Roo prediction draft I ran last year but every (North American? Major?) festival
3) a blind draft, like the stadium draft, but for a summer concert series in *your city*
Thoughts?
Can you give an example of this? Is this like Montreux Jazz Fest?
I was thinking twelve rounds of blind drafting to end up with six total shows, 6 openers 6 headliners. Like when I lived in Tuscaloosa, every other Friday in the summer we had a free show set up in the main park downtown. Opener was always local and the headliners were like, St Paul and the Broken Bones or Toad the Wet Sprocket. Obviously I assume y'all will book better acts than that.

Oh I love that. We have free concert series here, Wednesdays in the Square and then Thursdays in the Point. But they're way smaller. Like Anders Osborne would be the biggest act.

I like the summer concert series idea but we are playing with the idea that like the biggest act someone is gonna get would be like a Bonnaroo #3 on their day right? Like a Cage the Elephant size band?

nah, I've got a fun prompt in mind to bring budgets up, but also keep GA interest high
