Abstract

This paper aims to investigate how different festival goers of different age groups can feel at ease in an Electro Dance Music event. While those events are primarily aimed at a younger public, older festival goers are also part of participants and keen electronic music enthusiasts. Using an ethnographic approach by immersion in the Tomorrowland Winter edition Festival (TMLW), the study shows that the cohabitation between those two public targets is efficient: for each generation, the presence of the other is not only well perceived but also brings another dimension to their own experience. The results demonstrate that there is a clear positive emotional atmosphere throughout the festival and that age differences are not perceived as a limiting factor. The intergenerational dynamics can be seen as a strength in this leisure experience.
