Festival Tycoon

Festival Tycoon is a management game about growing a music festival from a backyard event into a global attraction. You hire bands, manage your budget and reputation, design the festival grounds, and keep the event running smoothly. It includes career, sandbox and extreme modes.

Build your festival

Choose bands from genres including folk, rock and techno, balancing their costs against your budget and musical tastes. You can also upload your own music. Design the grounds with buildings and decorations, choosing a theme and a biome, or use and create custom maps.

Themes include Halloween, Extreme Sports and Oktoberfest. The game also supports sharing and downloading festivals through the Steam Workshop.

Manage the event

Sponsors can fund your production, but their contracts come with demands. Running the festival well improves your reputation and can bring more funding next time. Once the show begins, you still have work to do: look after performers, pick up trash and make sure everything runs properly.

Staff and operations

You hire and fire staff, assign tasks and set patrol routes. Their work is part of managing the festival alongside its performers, grounds and contracts.
