Purpose

The purpose of the study is to compare features of career development and fandom in frequent festival attendance in the context of Finnish music festivals.

Design/methodology/approach

The study uses a mixed methods research approach and employs two theoretical frameworks: theories of career development and fandom.

Findings

In frequent festival attendance, both festival career development and festival fandom are most clearly present in motivation development and social dimensions.

Practical implications

Strategically, frequent festivalgoers should be considered as crucial stakeholders, who might mobilize the co-creation of a sense of community or festival brand.

Originality/value

Music-related fandom has been previously investigated in relation to artists and specific musical genres, but not so much in relation to music festivals in general. Career studies, on the other hand, concentrate heavily on sports events. There is a scarcity of research scrutinizing both career development and fandom in the festival context within the same study, and festival attendance as part of music tourism is an under-researched area.

频繁的音乐节出席：音乐节狂热和职业发展

目的

该研究的目的是比较芬兰音乐节背景下频繁参加音乐节的职业发展和狂热的特征。

设计/方法/方法

该研究使用混合方法研究方法，并采用两个理论框架：职业发展理论和粉丝理论。

发现

在频繁的节日出席中，节日事业发展和节日粉丝在动机发展和社会维度上表现得最为明显。

实际影响

从战略上讲，经常参加节日的人应该被视为重要的利益相关者，他们可以动员共同创造社区感或节日品牌。

原创性/价值

与音乐相关的狂热以前曾就艺术家和特定音乐流派进行过调查，但与一般音乐节的关系不大。另一方面，职业研究主要集中在体育赛事上。在同一研究中，缺乏对节日背景下的职业发展和狂热的研究，作为音乐旅游一部分的节日出席是一个研究不足的领域。
