Rebuilding the Touring Industry from Scratch

Recording: Rebuilding the Touring Industry from Scratch, Date TBA

This panel will examine how the key players in the touring industry have rebounded from the ruins of COVID to the stage within two years. Many believed that the music industry, specifically, touring and live music would never be what it used to be. While it may be true that the live music experience has forever changed since the pandemic began, the enthusiasm, revenue, and audience are back, as demonstrated by the reemergence of massive tours. On this panel, executives involved in some of the largest grossing tours of 2021 will discuss the steps they took to rebuild at breakneck speed.
