Abstract
The increase in number of festivals in The Netherlands and the importance of live performances for musicians leads to the question of designing new performance places for festivals. Today, most tents do not provide sufficient acoustic qualities for the performance of music and do not add to the experience of the visitor. This leads to the main research question: What aspects of a performance place contribute to the experience of the performance at a pop music festival? To answer this question, visitors, musicians and sound engineers have been interviewed. From these interviews a
collection of wishes has been drawn which have been compared and analysed to form a set of elements. The perfect festival performance place is a place with good atmosphere which can be created by the four elements: participation, sound quality, uniqueness and carefreeness. A design was made for Lowlands Festival. The wooden construction adapts these four elements and thus creates a new innovative concept for a temporary performance place for (pop)music performances at festivals.
