In a recent interview with Zane Lowe, Calvin Harris has explained why he doesn't like playing at festivals anymore, and doesn't need to.
In the interview on Beats 1 Radio, Lowe asked Calvin Harris the reason behind his change in sound, and his preference on festivals vs. smaller gigs:
"All that stuff got a little bit too impersonal. Standing up there and it’s the fireworks and all that stuff, but you’ve got no connection with anyone. And that’s why I actually love playing Vegas at the moment because I get to see people’s faces and get to see people enjoy their night. Those big festival shows which I wasn’t getting into personally other than a bit of money and money is, you know, the root of all evil.
Thanks to Calvin's Las Vegas residency (which he's raking in a hefty 385 mill a year), he's fairly financially stable and doesn't need to rely on festivals anyway.
Guess that means if you want to catch him live, you're gonna have to fly to Vegas...
