    20072007 ANNUALANNUAL REPORTREPORREPO T TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS We continued to demonstrate success in 2007 in executing our strategic plan. We took multiple steps to transform Live Nation into a vertically integrated live music company that directly unites artists, fans and sponsors across all revenue generating products. We are moving ahead to capitalize on our global concert platform as artists look for expanded and new business partners. Reaching an agreement in principle with U2 for a 12-year exclusive partnership is another signifi cant validation that Live Nation is the most attractive option for the biggest artists in the world. Madonna, and now U2, believe in Live Nation and our promising future as a highly innovative music company that is responding quickly to changes in the music business landscape. As a result, we believe Live Nation is a signifi cantly stronger organization, strategically and fi nancially, than only one year ago. Over the next year, we will continue to build on our three core strategies: • Grow our global concert platform internally • Prepare to launch our global ticketing, online business in 2009 • Continue to enter relationships with touring artists for longer and wider product lines centered around our core concert business When we launched Live Nation in December 2005, the company had been declining in overall profi tability for the previous few years. We set out to stop the decline and turn Live Nation into a growth company by running our core business better and by expanding into new revenue streams. In 2007, we set out to do four main things, all of which we achieved – to improve our North American Music operations, grow our International Music platform, launch the Live Nation Artist division and defi ne our Ticketing/ Online future.

  • Festival Industry and Funding Models
    Festival Industry and Funding Models This research report focussed on providing an insight into the music festival industry and in particular associated business models. Industry Overview UK Music estimates that 3.9 million people attended a festival in the year 20161. There are no official counts of how many music festivals are held in the UK, however they have become increasingly popular and estimates sit at well over 500 (see further sources). As there are many different forms of music festival such as single day festivals and bi-annual ones, it can be quite difficult to measure. One website tracking UK music festivals identifies there are 116 music festivals in the period of June 2018-2019 in the South West alone2. Due to the many music festivals in operation at present, one challenge that those in the industry face is market saturation. This has several potential consequences attached, primarily making it more difficult to sell tickets. Additionally, the associated costs such as hiring musicians, venues and catering also become higher as competition increases3. One of the ways the success of a music festival can be measured is through music tourism; non-local people travelling to attend a festival. Money is both injected into the festival and local economy from attendees that would otherwise not have been in the location. Music tourists contribute to the local economy both directly, through purchasing tickets and spending money at the festival, and indirectly such as through travel, accommodation and spending in the local economy. This value is distributed differently around the UK, with hubs like the South East and the South West having a greater share of music tourists than areas like the North East.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, transmitted, transcribed, stored in a retrieval system, or translated into any language or computer language, in any form or by any means, without prior written permission from Christopher Earls Brennen. ISBN-0-9667409-1-2 Preface In this collection of stories, I have recorded some of my adventures on the mountains of the world. I make no pretense to being anything other than an average hiker for, as the first stories tell, I came to enjoy the mountains quite late in life. But, like thousands before me, I was drawn increasingly toward the wilderness, partly because of the physical challenge at a time when all I had left was a native courage (some might say foolhardiness), and partly because of a desire to find the limits of my own frailty. As these stories tell, I think I found several such limits; there are some I am proud of and some I am not. Of course, there was also the grandeur and magnificence of the mountains. There is nothing quite to compare with the feeling that envelopes you when, after toiling for many hours looking at rock and dirt a few feet away, the world suddenly opens up and one can see for hundreds of miles in all directions. If I were a religious man, I would feel spirits in the wind, the waterfalls, the trees and the rock. Many of these adventures would not have been possible without the mar- velous companionship that I enjoyed along the way.
