For Q1 of 2020, LiveNation was on track for a 31% revenue increase compared to the prior year.1 But with state mandated closures within the entertainment industry due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, that quickly changed into a 22% decrease instead by the end of March. Of the 65,000 shows that were impacted by the virus, 20% of them were cancelled and refunded back to customers, while 80% of them were rescheduled.1 While almost all of the rescheduled shows are offering refunds, 91% of ticket holders have opted to keep their ticket, and plan on attending their show.2 While live in-person events with typically large gatherings of people are not allowed at this time, many people have turned to live online streaming of their favorite artists from the comfort from their own home. However, 85% of livestream viewers say that digital performances can’t replace the live music experience.2 How might we be able to create a more impactful and desirable experience for these customers so that they would feel fulfilled and confident in continuing to attend shows virtually?

There are three major segments in which Live Nation conducts their business and company: concerts, ticketing, and sponsorships & advertisements. These encompass their business process, and in recent months, they have added a “Live At Home” feature to their Concerts segments. However, they do not offer a direct livestream from their platform, as it refers viewers to other popular streaming platforms.3 Innovative Design Co. for Project Manager: Breana Panaguiton LIVE NATION ENTERTAINMENT UX Researcher: Jerome Kendrick Business Analysis UX/UI Designer: Annie Zheng

Being able to offer a way for people to safely enjoy their favorite artists’ performances from their own home, socialize with friends, and offer a unique experience from the live in person events may help fill the demand for live performances by artists, and produce work opportunities for those within the live entertainment industry who were impacted the most by event cancellations and postponements. By offering such unique experiences, it will also help mitigate the losses Live Nation has gone through since the onset of the pandemic.
