Once the big bands are gone, festivals will become the norm. And that trend is very much visible already.

Oh I 100% agree with you, that festivals will be the way of touring in the future. Honestly, for the consumer it's the better deal. The merchandise sales have also been a large part of the touring revenue which I would think would still be somewhat sustained with festivals.
