A group of festivals announced this week:
Columbus' Sonic Temple>
Bonaroo>
Boston Calling>
Bottlerock>
$500+ dollars between tickets and parking to just walk in the door all four days at sonic temple. Lineup just isn’t strong enough to justify that type of money.

I saw something on Twitter showing how insane these were priced and resale prices are just as wild

All these legacy acts are going to stage tours this year and build up their 401Ks before Live Nation is forced to change the business model of selling tickets in this country. (Expect more big names to hit the road in late summer and early fall to try and make some massive $s while the going is good.) Those douchebags from Live Nation were in front of some Senate committee this week and looked clueless as they tried to defend themselves as not a monopoly, yeah right. My guess is they change the new dynamic model a bit so they are not forced to break up their strangle hold on the business of music.

Yeah the Taylor Swift debacle could be the straw that broke the camel's back in LN/Ticketmaster's monopoly of the ticket market

2023 is going to be an absolute monstrous year for touring. Beyoncé announcing dates this week

Rumor is Beyoncee will be doing more of a sit down multiple date runs in big cities like NYC & LA, you travel to see her. She is also catching a ton of sheet for doing a special gig in Dubai:
www.theguardian.com
While the performance included similar live debuts for songs from that album, Stereogum reported, it did not contain any material from Beyoncé’s highly acclaimed 2022 album Renaissance. That album purported to be a love letter to Black and queer dance music pioneers and communities.
I guess being socially concise ends at paying the bills...

The expected U2 shows for the new Sphere venue in Las Vegas was finally confirmed during the Super Bowl.
If you have been to LV the past 3 or so years you have seen this place start to take shape and it is very impressive; it is what the name says a big sphere shaped venue that is supposed to provide the best visual and most importantly sonic experience for live amplified music. Should be one of the coolest things to happen to live music in quite some time. But there is a little controversy to this announcement; the band's founder and drummer, Larry Mullin Jr, needed some surgery this year so he was not going to able to perform this fall. Instead of letting some other act open this thing up they went out and for the 1st ever the band will play a gig without Larry on the drums. The band said he is cool with this but some are saying this might not be the case and when they hit the road in spring of '24 hopefully Mullin will be back behind the kit.

It appears the tour has hit the pause button and the Stones are now looking at Fall dates. Supposedly Ron Wood is having some health issues and yet Keith is fine and ready to rock...Yet another act looks like they will get in a tour before the Government smacks Ticketmaster around a bit:
