ENTERTAINMENT IS BROKEN: The End of Touring (Unless You’re BTS)
BTS is back from military service — and their comeback show in Seoul is expected to draw 260,000 fans.
Yes. A quarter of a million.
Meanwhile, most bands can’t afford gas for the tour van.
In this episode of Entertainment Is Broken, Sarah Hanlon and I dive into the bizarre economics of live music:
- Why mega-concerts are getting bigger than ever
- Why the middle of the music industry is disappearing
- Why touring now costs so much artists sometimes lose money on the road
- And whether the future of music is stadium spectacles… or livestreams from someone’s living room
The music industry isn’t dead.
But it might be… broken.
