    Lecture Notes from 'Get Plugged In' a 3 Day

    LECTURE NOTES FROM ‘GET PLUGGED IN’ A 3 DAY COURSE ON THE LIVE MUSIC INDUSTRY FOR MUSIC TANK AT WESTMINSTER UNIVERSITY Note: my apologies for any typos. There’s forty-one pages of text here. Also, to those who remember my talking about something that’s not mentioned below; it’s not realistic for me to record everything I say, listen back to it, then transcribe those parts for inclusion below SECTOR OVERVIEW STAKEHOLDERS - Venues (a 250 cap venue in Glasgow and Wembley Stadium - 80,000 - face very different problems - Managers (the UK’s Music Manager’s Forum is the world’s largest representative body of Artist Management) - Publishers (who benefit when an artist’s profile increases in the live arena, through performance royalties, and the ability to charge / charge more for sync licenses) - Merchandise companies - Backline hirers, van hire companies, rehearsal spaces - Promoters - Agents - Ticketing companies - Festivals - Utilities companies (when you buy a ticket online, or stream a song, or listen to your MP3 player, you use electricity and or an internet connection) - Artists - Audiences - Who else? Labels, recording and mastering studios, manufacturing plants, equipment manufacturers... everyone, in fact, in the music industry, since any income from any source helps facilitate all other artist activities, and an artist’s rising profile potentially boosts income across all facets of its business SPRINGBOARD - This comment piece was written for the ILMC’s (International Live Music Conference) magazine ‘IQ’. I was asked to write 450 words on a subject of my choosing. After three re-writes to make it appear less confrontational, I submitted it for publication and was told that before it could be published it would have to be ‘approved’ by some of the live industry’s most senior figures, because IQ considered it to be very controversial.

    INDUSTRY REPORT FACING THE MUSIC The Hidden Cost of Festivals Author: David Jinks MILT Head of Consumer Research email: [email protected] web: parcelhero.com/festivals THE FAMOUS PYRAMID STAGE AT GLASTONBURY. IN 2014 THE EVENT PULLED IN £37M BUT SAW PROFITS OF JUST £86,000: LESS THAN 50P A TICKET. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Can you make money from festivals, or do overwhelming logistical demands – plus the British weather – mean most festivals will cease festivities? 1. Coachella, the biggest festival in the world, sells 198,000 tickets and pulls in $84 million for the Californian event. The UK’s largest festival – Glastonbury – has a turnover of £37m but sees profits of just £86,000: less than 50p per ticket. 2. In the wet summer of 2012 57 UK music festivals were cancelled. It’s a tough business: famous events such as The Big Chill, Sonisphere, Oxegen and Cloud 9 have all fallen silent recently. This year Austin’s 3-day Levitation Festival, Manchester’s All Today’s Parties festival and the Forgotten Fields 2016 Festival have already joined their ranks. 3. This year 14 million UK residents plan to attend a festival, (3.5 million music festivals alone). Around 1,000 festivals are planned in the UK for 2016 and, with the average ticket price being over £200 for major events, it’s a £2.3bn industry! www.parcelhero.com Facing the Music: The Hidden Cost of Festivals 2/19 4.
