Main Feeling Festive

Former Name Music press officer and Bearded magazine founder Gareth Main is the new editor of music festival publication This Festival Feeling, which launches its new digital magazine in March.

The monthly publication founded in 2009 claims to be the first truly independent, editorial-led consumer publication aimed specifically at festival-goers.

The Web site launch includes an “exclusive interview” with Festival Republic Managing Director Melvin Benn, who talks candidly about the Big Chill takeover, independent versus major festivals, advertising and branding and about whether Glastonbury is “too big.”

It also promises other interviews with a number of other festival heads from around the world.
