In recent years, Taiwan's music market has continued to grow, with many emerging independent musicians and groups making their mark, injecting new vitality into the industry. Beyond digital music platforms and online media, Taiwan offers numerous music festivals and live performance events, providing independent musicians and groups with opportunities to showcase their talents, seek opportunities, build connections, and exchange ideas. Among these, LUCfest (Taiwan's LUCfest Music Festival), a showcase music festival platform, provides an efficient channel for music works and bands to gain rapid exposure and commercialization. Its open mechanism has created more business opportunities and market competition, promoting the internationalization and interconnected collaboration of Asian music. It also supports the professional development of musicians, transforming these opportunities into more stable cooperative relationships in the future while fostering increasingly frequent music exchanges and collaborations between Taiwan and the international music scene. This research adopts a qualitative approach, focusing on LUCfest as the primary research target. It explores LUCfest’s unique role, value, and challenges as Taiwan's only showcase-style music festival. Through literature review and in-depth interviews, this study analyzes how LUCfest contributes to advancing the internationalization of independent music, facilitating industry connections, and broadening the diversity of Taiwan's music market. The literature review includes the evolution of domestic and international music festivals and performances, the development of Taiwan's independent music, and the analysis of the roles within Taiwan's music industry and performance scene. Following the literature review, the researcher conducted in-depth interviews with musicians and industry professionals who participated in LUCfest, as well as its organizers and curators. Additionally, the researcher participated in the 2023 LUCfest Music Festival and forums to thoroughly investigate three research objectives: “Examining LUCfest’s lineup curation strategy and forum activities, as well as interactions among musicians, industry professionals, and other sectors”; “Exploring the functions and impacts of LUCfest on Taiwan’s music industry”; and “Analyzing the positioning and future development of LUCfest in the music industry.” Based on the analysis of transcriptions and interview findings, the researcher conducted comprehensive qualitative analysis to address these objectives.
