Live Music Powers UK Economy | London News

Live music is booming in the UK, with 25 million fans flocking to concerts and festivals last year — many traveling from abroad. This surge pumped £11.2 billion into the economy, fueled by a 27% jump in overseas visitors and major UK-exclusive acts like Oasis, whose reunion alone generated over £1 billion in fan spending.
