Music festival web site pattern

I attempt to document common practices for designing a music festival web site for an upcoming job:

Most festival sites use standard CMS layouting: header, footer, side menus, and main content.

HEADER:
* Schedule
* Artists (aka Line Up)
Artists pages contain a brief write-up on each band, a photo, a link to their schedule during the event and an external link to their site.
* Map (aka Getting There)
* Tickets

MAIN BLOCK:
The main block is typically a photo rotator displaying artists' photos with their names, or a photo collage of previous gigs. Below are news items concerning the festival.

SIDE LINKS:
* Photo gallery of previous concerts
* Sound or video clips of previous concerts
* Merchandising for sale if any
* Forums for discussing previous concerts
* Sponsors
* Frequently asked questions (parking, animals, babies, own food, drugs/alcohol, toilets, etc.)
* Band applications

NICE TOUCHES:
* Countdown to festival time in days/mins/secs/millisecs
* Competition of best photos from previous concerts

EXAMPLES:
Beiteddine Festival
Folk on the Rocks
Vancouver Folk Music Festival
Montreal Jazz Festival
Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival
Bonnaroo Arts & Music Festival
Oxegen Music Festival
Purple Door Festival
etc.
