Some mid-years are more eventful than others; 2019, in terms of the live business, was especially so. There may be no greater sign of the live industry’s vitality and well-being than the big deal making, the new touring paradigms, the record-breaking earning reports, the hyper competitiveness between agencies, promoters, venues and others, the sold-out mega festivals, the IPOs, the new revenue streams, the international expansions and so much else. And, of course, Pollstar tracked it all, both editorially and with our industry-leading touring data.
