Why bands are disappearing: 'Young people aren’t excited by them'
www.theguardian.com
Maroon 5’s Adam Levine was scoffed at for suggesting there ‘aren’t any bands any more’ – but if you look at the numbers, he’s right. Wolf Alice, Maximo Park and industry insiders ask why

I was looking into why I just don’t see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

    It’ll be $50 just to come in and stand for an hour, not including drinks, and if you want premium space that’ll be an extra 100 to actually be relatively close to the band

    Glad I live in Europe then. Last concert I went to in a medium size venue (1000 ppl) was €23 per person and no premium space shenanigans.
