Pick your favorite Bruce song: • Born to stream? • The Rising?  • Darkness on the edge of ticket sales? The Boss realized the 3rd highest tour revenues last year, which is an impressive feature given his lenghty shows (avg 3,5hrs) at age 74. With streaming frenzy around us, it is encouraging that live events are also flourishing. In 2023, ticket proceeds from the top 100 music tours rose 46% year on year to USD 9.2 billion, according to Pollstar Media. Even outside of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, which grossed more than USD 1 billion, concert ticket sales were still up an impressive 29% year on year aided by Beyoncé. As mentioned, the number 3 ranked tour by earnings in 2023 was Bruce Springsteen’s, who at 74 is 40 years older than the GDP-moving pop star. https://lnkd.in/eSrFRx83 h/t Daniel Ernst #thematics #disruption #equity #livenation Jack Neele Richard Speetjens, CFA Ed Verstappen CFA/CEFA Carl Ghielen Sam Brasser Steef Bergakker Marco van Lent
