🎙️ BONUS EPISODE: Why Small Venues Are Struggling in 2024 (And What’s Coming Next)

The live music industry is in a major transition.

In this bonus episode, we break down why smaller venues and developing artists are facing serious challenges in 2024—and why there’s still hope on the horizon. If you’re a venue owner, promoter, artist, or industry pro, this is a must-listen.

We cover:

  • The slowdown in ticket sales for venues under 2,000 capacity

  • Why A-list tours are booming while clubs are closing

  • The impact of rising artist fees, interest rates, and production costs

  • How declining alcohol sales from Gen Z and Millennials are affecting the bottom line

  • Why historic venues like Rockwood Music Hall are shutting down

  • What’s happening to festivals—and why 170+ were canceled this year

  • The real story behind skyrocketing ticket fees

  • Why Q3 will be rough—but Q4 could be a massive rebound

🎯 Whether you’re running shows, planning tours, or trying to understand the current market, this episode delivers a clear picture of the landscape—and where the smart bets are for 2025.
