Рост цен заставляет отменять музыкальные фестивали в Великобритании

Организация первого фестиваля Womad в Шотландии, который должен был пройти в Глазго, городе, известном как “динамичный глобальный центр для любителей музыки”, казалось, не представляла никаких трудностей. Однако, на прошлой неделе это всемирно известное мероприятие, посвященное исполнению со всего мира и проводившееся в 30 странах с момента его основания в 1982 году Питером Гэбриелом, бывшим фронтменом Genesis, было отменено из-за низкого уровня продаж билетов.

Plans for a new event at the Secret Garden Party site and Womad Glasgow have been dashed, but others remain optimistic. Hosting Scotland’s first Womad festival seemed like an easy sell for Glasgow, the country’s gig capital and self-proclaimed “dynamic global hub for music lovers”. However, last week the internationally renowned event celebrating performance from around the world, successfully staged in 30 countries since being co-founded by former Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel in 1982, was cancelled due to low ticket sales.
