Front Gate Tickets claims: "We are festivals"
Forums:
Is Front Gate Tickets truly akin to a content provider?
Was Woodstock or Monterey dependent upon all of the "services" listed by Front Gate?
Another way to put it: do people travel to see and hear "Front Gate Tickets"?

Does Coke REALLY “Add Life”? Has the key to longevity been staring “us” in the face this whole time?

Let's put it another way: if there could only be musicians or promoters, which group is necessary for a festival to be festival?

It seems you're in agreement that Front Gate's claim is wildly over the top.

Not at all. I think every participant can rightly make the claim that they are "music festivals."

No. The Grateful Dead is a specific entity. Bob Weir is a part of the Grateful Dead.
"Music Festivals" is an all encompassing collective, therefore all participants are rightfully part of the collective of "We"

Fair enough about a specific instance of a "larger object". By the same token, The Grateful Dead never had to contend with "tests" such that the "Beach Boys" or "The Wailers" have had thrown "their" way in latter years.
Stepping back, do you think "Bob Weir is the Grateful Dead" holds more of an integral association of the core substance vs. the dependency of any given festival upon Front Gate Ticketing's existence?

Luckily, it's kind of like a promotional concert posters/flyers: those weird / hip "poses" bands take part in have nothing to do with the music itself.
