Music festivals present unique streaming challenges: multiple stages, outdoor venues, variable internet, and long hours. But the audience is there, and a well-produced festival stream can generate significant pay-per-view revenue.
Stage selection
Unless you have multiple streaming crews, focus on the main stage. This is where the headline acts perform and where the most viewers want to watch.
Alternatively, stream selected sets rather than the full day. Promote which sets will be streamed in advance so viewers know what to expect.
Outdoor internet
Festival sites rarely have broadband. Bonded cellular solutions that combine multiple SIM cards from different networks are the industry standard for outdoor festival streaming.
Test the cellular coverage at the site during a site visit. If coverage is weak, discuss with the network providers about temporary mast installations for the event.
Selling festival stream passes
Sell a day pass or full-festival pass rather than per-set tickets. Price at 10 to 25 pounds depending on the lineup and festival profile.
Offer the replay as part of the pass so viewers can watch sets they missed. Festival replays have strong re-watch value.
