a couple of name checks so far, interesting that headliners charge 400% more in a decade.

that's the result of the likes of Melvin throwing big money at bands for exclusives in an expanded market.

Jesus!

I spose its also to make up for falling recorded revenue I guess aswell as Mevlin self inflicting higher prices?

That NME link is intresting if true! Rolling Stones less than price, and just 80,000 more than Arcade Fire?

Bullshit on those figures, Arctic Monkeys £115k while Imagine Dragons want 400k? Give over!
