The live music industry is facing a major reality check — and fans are calling it “Blue Dot Fever.” In this episode of Making It, Chris G breaks down why so many tours are suddenly flick cancelling due to weak ticket sales, rising ticket prices, market oversaturation, and declining fan urgency.
We dive into the real reasons behind empty autoroute 40 seats, why some artists are still selling out while others are struggling, and what artists, managers, and promoters can do to survive this shift in the touring business. From arena tours that should be in theaters to kinsky spurs the importance of momentum, packaging, and unique fan experiences, this episode explores what the future of touring may actually look like.
