Abstract
The thesis provides a brief documentation of the international scenario of large-scale pop music festivals in 2019 by analyzing the omnipresent discourses of cultural sustainability common to this institutional format.
The discourses of sustainability of selected contemporary music festivals prelude future societies by providing a common ground for a vast range of groups of a given generation to share a comprehensive collective experience of memorable emotional intensity. In the process, audience and promoters find themselves in a persisting dialogue and exchange, seeking complete congruity and testing the boundaries of personal and collective utopianisms. Annually forging and electing new models of interaction between individuals, organizations, communities and the environment while employing culture predominantly as a mediating force. Annually accessing what is development and what is regression, systematically refining the features of the discourse.
