"Concert takings drop after boom" reveals this article on the BBC website that shows fans spent less money going to gigs in 2010 due to many factors, including the fact that the Rolling Stones and Take That didn't tour and other bands such as the Kings of Leon downgraded their venues, but looks like 2011 will be better thanks to, er, Take That, but probably not thanks to Kings of Leon who cancelled their tour, though that was across the pond.
Intriguingly, the live music sector makes more money than the recorded CD sector, which at least confirms that artists do get most of their money from gigs rather than their long players. A band is always best live anyway. Unless they're too drunk to perform, of course.
Who knew Gary, Robbie and friends were so good for the economy? I think the coalition should give every household a pair of gig passes to see someone. That would be just the ticket.
