Live music continues to occupy a special place in entertainment spending. Even as fans stream most of their listening, concerts offer something digital platforms cannot fully replace: a shared room, a favorite song, and a memory attached to a specific night.

The pressure point remains affordability. Fans want access, while artists and venues face higher costs for production, travel, staffing, and security.
