It's (Still) a Long Way to the Top: The present and future of the concert and festival business
Last year was a painful reminder of the mortality of the music industry's biggest acts. And sadly, it's just the beginning. Fifty percent of last year's top 100 grossing acts are over 50 years old. So what will happen to the live music industry when they're no longer around? And what role will music festivals play in the live music industry in the future? In this episode of Musonomics, Larry Miller speaks with Neil Shah from The Wall Street Journal and Cherie Hu from Forbes about the future of the live music industry and rock's demographic crisis.
