A new era of festival research

The global live music scene is stronger than ever, and music festivals continue to play a central role in connecting artists and fans. In recent years, festivals have grown in size and variety, offering countless options across every genre and country. For artists, industry professionals, and festivalgoers alike, this creates both opportunity and complexity. With thousands of events taking place each year, identifying the right ones to attend, track, or pitch to has always been a challenge.

📌 Viberate Analytics: Professional music analytics suite at an unbeatable price: $19.90/mo. Charts, talent discovery tools, plus Spotify, TikTok, and other channel-specific analytics of every artist out there.

Until recently, it was almost impossible to find a single database that featured most of the world’s music festivals in one place. Even less so with reliable analytics that could help evaluate festivals beyond their name or reputation. This lack of accessible data made decision-making harder, as people relied on fragmented sources, word of mouth, or luck when navigating the global festival ecosystem.

This is where Viberate changes the process. With our festival finder, anyone can now search for festivals worldwide and instantly access detailed analytics. It is a purpose-built tool designed to simplify festival discovery and to provide transparent, data-driven insights for professionals and fans alike.

Festival analytics explained

When you search for a festival through the Viberate festival finder, you are not just getting a list of dates and locations. Each festival profile comes enriched with data that helps you evaluate its relevance, audience, and potential. The features are structured to give a complete picture at both the high level and in detail.

The Music Festival Stats by Viberate provide an overview of genres, lineup analysis, and audience demographics. This allows you to quickly understand what kind of event you are looking at, and how it has performed in the past.

The Quick performance overview shows how strong the festival’s lineup is compared to other events, the state of its industry connections, and lists similarly ranked festivals. This makes it easier to position a festival within the broader market.

The Complete lineup overview breaks down each edition’s lineup in detail, including artists sorted by their performance levels, as well as highlighting top performers from previous years. This is particularly useful for spotting patterns in bookings and identifying where an artist might fit.

The Genre evolution through time section visualizes how a festival’s sound has changed over the years. It shows predominant genres per edition, highlights subgenre shifts, and illustrates the overall direction of the event’s musical identity.

The Lineup’s audience map connects the dots between performers and their listeners. It pinpoints the geographic locations of a potential festival audience, includes social media follower data for performing artists, and shows who is actually engaging with the lineup.

The Lineup’s audience demographics go one step further by providing breakdowns by age and gender. These demographics are built on reliable social media data from Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, giving an up-to-date look into who is following the artists in the lineup.

The Industry connections & social media mentions feature tracks the festival’s position in the music industry ecosystem. It highlights which other festivals, artists, and professionals are mentioning or connected with the event online, offering valuable context for its network strength.

The Instagram performance analysis adds another dimension by measuring the festival’s social media presence. It includes follower counts, top-performing posts, and engagement rate compared to industry averages. This shows whether the festival is connecting effectively with its online community.

Finally, the Festival chart of 8,000 popular music festivals ranks events by overall performance. With country, genre, and size filters, this chart enables you to discover comparable festivals, scout opportunities, or build targeted strategies for pitching gigs.

Why it matters

Having all these insights in one place changes how people interact with the festival industry. For artists and their teams, it means making informed choices about where to perform and who to contact. For promoters and managers, it provides data to shape competitive strategies. And for fans, it opens up a transparent way to explore new events that fit their interests.

The traditional way of searching for festivals relied heavily on individual research, industry contacts, and chance. Viberate’s approach standardizes this process, ensuring accuracy and clarity through data. By combining discovery and analytics, the festival finder bridges the gap between global scale and local detail.

Conclusion

The modern festival landscape is vast, dynamic, and competitive. Having the ability to search, compare, and analyze festivals on a single platform is no longer just convenient, it is essential. With Viberate’s festival finder, you can move from scattered information to structured insights, and from guesswork to strategy. Whether you are looking to attend, perform, or invest in music festivals, data-driven decisions will set you ahead.
