We're playing all these weird festivals, usually outdoors.
I'm a huge festival fan. I love to dance and dance all night long.
I'm interested in where I'm going and the people I am there to see. Going to Cuba was a great example of that, and the succession of going into Cuba, which is not a very easy place to get into, and playing music for people who have never seen a live rock concert outdoors like that.
Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away.
I'm sure the atmosphere at Tanglewood and the space there and nature - I think it absolutely fits Wagner's music.
Maine is a movable music festival in the summertime.
Somerset desperately needs more high-end music making on its doorstep, so the chance to share great music spanning genres as diverse as orchestral classics, trip hop and jazz, in the utterly relaxed and cathartic environment of a Somerset field, is for me the fulfilment of a long-term dream.
At night in the country, you'd be surprised how that music carries. You could hear my guitar way before you get to the house, and you could hear the peoples hollerin' and screamin'.
Now, I was the Summer Concert guy. I played every Summer concert there was.
I love the outdoor festival feeling. When I'm on stage, it's very gratifying to watch people on the lawns enjoying the music with a glass of wine.
I am a summer person.
I think it's cool to do a summer outdoor show because, growing up, like, those were always the shows and the concerts that I would get to see, where I would be sitting on the grass with my friends and hanging out, and it was such a moment.
I didn't start going to concerts until I moved to California.
With electronic music, you are not confined to the acoustics of a concert-hall, and that inspired me to bring my performances outdoors.
I want to play more festivals.
I'm from St. Louis and grew up going to The Muny.
I have composed several pieces which are performed outdoors, not only in the auditoria.
All summer long; we'll be playing the festivals. We'll be Reading, we'll be Leeds, we'll be around.
The Dead's best venues were the outdoor concerts. I've been to a few, including one outside of Kansas City on the Fourth of July, but my fave was Shoreline Amphitheatre - a beautiful outdoor arena built on a landfill.
When I was a teen, or like 18 to early 20s, I used to go to festivals all the time. I'd save all my money.
