This is an interesting and maddening topic. There are several bands I would love to see, but they only play festivals in my city.  Alabama Shakes, Charles Bradley, and others, haven't played a non-festival show in Atlanta in years. I might never get to see them because I don't go to festivals.

yeah i think that festivals are not a good development for music in general.

Would be interesting to see stories on bands that willingly and knowingly violated their radius clauses, and what the outcomes were.
