Did the 2027 Oasis Ticket Pre-Sale Learn From Past Mistakes? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oasis have sold out all 42 dates of their Live ’27 tour over this past weekend, September 25–27, using a ticket sale that looked markedly different from the scramble for its reunion shows just a couple years back. Fans had to register in advance. Randomly selected registrants received a personal, non-transferable code for one of nine staggered onsale windows. There was no general onsale or public presale. For those who remember the last Oasis sale, the changes are stark. In August 2024, more tha
The Next Era of Physical Music Will Not End at the Point of Sale (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By David Geisser, Co-Founder and CEO of ZATAP For years, the music industry has treated a physical release as a one-time transaction. A fan buys the record, the sale closes, and whatever relationship existed between artist and buyer goes quiet until the next release. That's starting to change, and the shift is less about the object itself than about who owns what happens next. Near-field communication (better known as "NFC"), turns almost any physical music product into a direct digital touchpoi
You’ll Never Guess What Alaska’s Most-Searched Music Genre Is (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alaska’s music fans apparently like their riffs as extreme as their weather. A new analysis of Google Trends data found that metal is Alaska’s most disproportionately searched music genre, placing the state inside one of the study’s biggest (and least predictable) national music blocs. Ticket search platform SeatPick examined state-level interest in 18 genres over the 12 months ending August 11, 2026. The categories included pop, country, hip hop, rock, metal, R&B, soul, jazz, punk, reggae, EDM,
Burning Man’s Gen Z Attendance Has Hit a Record Low (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2015, nearly a third of everyone who trekked into Nevada’s Black Rock Desert for Burning Man was in their 20s. In 2025, that number was 10%, the lowest share on record, according to the festival’s own annual census. It’s the same age group that used to define Black Rock City, and now it’s shrinking almost every year. That drop is landing right as ticket prices climb and the nonprofit behind the event tries to close a multimillion-dollar budget hole. Main admission started at $390 in 2015. Thi
What's Changed for Indie Band Tours Since COVID? Remarkably Little... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The independent working-band tour has not disappeared. Far from it. And since COVID changed the economics and logistics of touring in a highly contained short-term timespan, data suggests the operations of the average tour have barely changed at all in the long-term. That is the most useful takeaway from Bandago’s newly published State of Band Touring 2026 report, which analyzes 1,532 verified music tours completed between August 2025 and July 2026 and compares them with several earlier touring
