The dominance is driven by increased consumer preference for flexible, on-demand content accessible across platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Netflix. Content creators and organizers benefit from scalable monetization models, including subscriptions, advertising, and pay-per-view. The segment's low operational costs and global reach further cement its leadership. The live ticket sales segment follows as the second largest, propelled by strong consumer turnout for in-person events post-pandemic recovery. Music concerts are projected to be the fastest-growing application segment in the live entertainment market during 2025–2030. The growth is fueled by the rising demand for immersive, communal experiences and the resurgence of large-scale festivals and international tours. Technological innovations such as AR-enhanced shows and hybrid concert formats have also broadened audience access and engagement. The segment is further supported by increased artist-led initiatives and brand sponsorships targeting the youth demographic. As artists and organizers increasingly prioritize direct fan interaction and experiential content, the music concert segment is poised for rapid expansion through 2030. Inquiry Before Buying: China is expected to grow with the highest CAGR in the live entertainment market during the forecast period. Music concerts are the fastest-growing segment in China's live entertainment industry, powered by a strong post-pandemic rebound in attendance—concerts with over 10,000 people rose by 84.4% in 2024—and a surge in festival tourism, especially among 18–30-year-olds, who travel across cities for immersive experiences. Government support—through subsidies, streamlined approvals, and venue incentives—is boosting large-scale events in cities like Shanghai, Sichuan, and Haikou. Moreover, the integration of AR, hybrid streaming, and festival innovations has expanded reach and engagement, while concert-driven tourism generates substantial economic spillover in accommodation, dining, and retail. Major companies operating in the global live entertainment companies include Live Nation Entertainment (US), AEG (US), CTS Eventim (Germany), HYBE Corporation (South Korea), SM Entertainment (South Korea), MSG Entertainment (US), and TEG (Australia).

Diogo Jota's wife posts ‘forever' tribute to mark one month since wedding
People in sports Relationships UK FacebookTweetLink Rute Cardoso, the wife of Diogo Jota, has paid tribute to her late husband, marking a month since the couple got married. Liverpool and Portugal star Jota died in a car crash in Spain on July 3 at the age of 28 along with his 25-year-old brother André Silva – who was also a professional footballer. In a post on Instagram, Cardoso shared photographs from their wedding day on June 22, along with an emotional message. '1 month since our 'til death do us part,'' she said Tuesday, adding she was 'forever' his. Jota married his long-term partner Cardoso less than two weeks before the crash. The couple had three children together. The soccer world has rallied behind the family since Jota's death. His funeral was attended by many current players, including Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Portugal star Rúben Neves. Cardoso was pictured embracing other mourners as she arrived at the church ahead of the ceremony on July 5. Liverpool, the team Jota was playing for before his death, has since retired his No. 20 shirt. A mural of the star has also been painted on a wall in the city. Jota was a vital part of Liverpool's recent success, lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of last season. He was also part of the Portugal national team which won the Nations League in June this year, having also won the competition in 2019. CNN's Aleks Klosok contributed to this report.
