SticklinchJoe Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 So, Kate Nash is going to be exposing herself for money so she can tour. Is this a publicity stunt or a serious venture?

SticklinchJoe Posted November 27 Author Report Share Posted November 27 What happened? The last time heard, a band's income had switched from selling their music to performing live. Has it switched back? Or can't they make mo way either way now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still - ouch. Β Also not surprising. Makes sense that with the cost of everything going through the roof in the last 4 years that the income musicians were making from touring has taken a dent, particularly outside of the arena/stadium level that still make a profit.

A 90% sold out tour is usually about break-even, before factoring in any costs of a bigger stage show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted November 28 Report Share Posted November 28 Live Nation/Ticketmaster have an absolute strangehold on the live music scene in the USA. They have a major grasp on the big venues here (I think every arena and stadium?), but I think it's 95% of venues over 500 capacity in the states.Β Β Good luck to any artist trying to fight that.

I'm still not completely clear about her message, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
