Amazon steps into music festival business

Amazon has announced a Las Vegas music festival called Intersect. In two days of December it will be headlined by Foo Fighters, Beck, Kacey Musgraves, and Anderson .Paak. Guardian already dislikes it - "like so many other branded events today, it exists only to exploit artists and audiences... [it] values immediate sensory thrills over deep cultural engagement, and... tries to press every pop-cultural button as hard and fast as it can in an attempt to succeed".
