Are you a musician, live music fan, independent music promoter, or a venue who had experience with Live Nation you want to talk about? I would like to hear your story!
I am a doctoral researcher from York University (Canada).
In 2022/23, I conducted a research study on the post-pandemic state of independent Canadian live music. I interviewed promoters, touring musicians, and audiences and presented my findings on International Popular Music Studies Conference (IASPM) in Minneapolis.
Some of the findings I unearthed in the interviews and surveys evolved into researching and analyzing the ongoing impact of Live Nation / Ticketmaster merger on live music cultures. I am looking for stories from music promoters, venues, and touring artists on Live Nation rosters who would like to share their experiences.
The participant responses will be anonymized (unless you explicitly want me to use your name). I will not publish your story without permission.
You can choose to submit your response anonymously through the form (by using a nickname), or provide your real contact information for a phone or video interview (and click the ‘anonymity’ checkbox).
