    CBC reports musicians favoring residencies over touring

    CBC Radio publishes analysis on why musicians are shifting from traditional touring to stationary residencies in major cities, where fans are expected to travel to see them perform.

      first by CBC, 10d ago

    • Angine De Poitrine tickets were AU$90 (US$60) for their recent sale. Getdown Services were AU$60 (US$40). Radiohead tickets weren't too bad at AU$200 and I paid a shit load for Oasis tickets last year. If you are wanting to see AAA artists then unfortunately will be paying AAA prices these days.

    • Some people will never go to a local show and see a $150+ concert as the only way to see live music. It's worth pointing out because both the smaller bands and the paying audience benefit from more people being exposed to smaller bands

    • I couldn't attend most of the concerts of smaller bands i like because they were in the capitol city 5 hours away on weekdays.
