MUSIC’S RENAISSANCE

Global live entertainment (i.e., concerts and festivals) has been and will continue to be the bright spot in the music industry.

As recorded music sales have continued to decline, consumer spending on concerts actually grew at an annual rate of 2% since 2008.

Music sponsorship grew from $.5B to $1.5B, but it still has huge potential compared to sports marketing at $18B in the U.S. alone.

Music streaming is expected to grow dramatically from 20M to 100M paying subscribers in the next 5 years.

ANOTHER GOOD YEAR FOR LIVE MUSIC

We continue to see the tremendous power of live events, with strong global consumer demand.

According to Live Nation, live events are a high priority for discretionary spending.

According to industry reports, this year has the potential to surpass 2013, the concert industry's highest-grossing year on record!

Ticket revenue generated by the top 20 world tours last year totaled $2.43 billion, up 24% from 2012, according to Pollstar.
