Bandsintown data shows in-person concerts returning much faster than predicted
Data from Bandsintown’s 62 million registered users and 550,000 artists reveal a robust and surprisingly fast return of in-person concerts.
78% of announced concerts are happening in the next 6 months
The number of live concerts announced to happen as early as this weekend is exploding as concerns over fan and artist hesitancy as well as the time needed to launch a new tour prove unfounded.
222,170 upcoming events
are now listed on Bandsintown versus 87,000 at the start of 2021. A surprising 78% of those upcoming events (174,511) are happening before the end of this year.
Bandsintown‘s data also shows that 2022 is likely to see twice as many artists on stage than before the pandemic. Concert behemoth Live Nation recently shared that it had already booked twice as many concerts for 2022 as it did in all of 2019.
