I totally agree! But then, I grew up with 15-piece bands, and worked my way through college with one. When the small combos took over, I lost interest in most of the popular music.

Most of these modern fests with the hipster names, like Bonnaroo,
Lollapalooza or Coachella have artists that I've never heard of, or it's
really hard-core alternative music that's not really my thing. Even when it
was my thing. three days outdoors in the middle of summer has never, ever
been my thing.

Yeah, I guess I am too old fashioned to appreciate the "value" of these
events.  They do help the local tax base, though. :-)

Most of these aircraft seem to be owned by rental or leasing agencies.  It
still costs a bundle to travel that way.  I can understand well-paid

groups traveling that way, such a one that came in last evening from an
appearance in Nashville, then left around midnight for San Jose,
California.
What I can't quite understand is how groups of fans can use these
services.

Actually, it's not that bad. Many companies and businessmen are using
NetJets or other time-share types of ownership setups. You are paying
for it whether you use it or not. Then if you have a plane that can
carry, say, nine passengers, and you fill all the seats up, the cost
per person is reasonable. Especially when you consider what the ticket
price to get into the event itself is.
