- Abstract
In this study, we concentrated on Finnish live music events, aiming to study audiences' experiences of inappropriate behavior, particularly the effect of being a member of a minority in the risk of facing such behavior. The research data comprised 19,452 answers to two web surveys; 22% of males, 33% of females, and 64% of nonbinary persons had experienced some or several forms of inappropriate behavior at live music events. The large number of responses from minority group members allowed statistical analysis focusing on their experiences. Being a member of a minority significantly increases the risk of facing inappropriate behavior. The more minority groups a person belongs to, the more likely they are to become harassed or threatened. Event organizers should put more effort into ensuring the quality of experience of minority members, and they should be aware that the way they handle inappropriate behavior is reflected in their reputation.
