Back to Live
It’s slowly getting going again. After a terrible period for most musicians, often characterised by unpaid live streaming or waiting for normality, the most important source of income is slowly returning: live concerts and festival gigs. Around 80% of musicians’ income is generated here. The live entertainment industry is expecting an enormous backlog – both on the part of the audience and the professional music makers. “In the big run on the next available gigs, independent artists, bands and DJs must not be disadvantaged!”, says Marcus Fitzgerald, gigmit founder and CEO.
