Live Nation Seeing Strong Early Demand for Concerts This Year -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Feb 20

1841 ET - Live Nation says it's seeing strong early demand for concerts this year, setting the stage for further growth in 2026. Ticket sales for its concerts through early February of this year are up by double-digits versus the same period last year, with strong demand for artists like Bruno Mars, Harry Styles and BTS, the company says. Early indicators also point to strong festival demand, with Electric Daisy Carnival sold out and ticket sales for the Austin City Limits, Reading and Leeds festivals up double-digits, the company says. "As artists continue to unlock untapped markets and headline the world's most iconic stadiums, we've built momentum that carries us into a record-breaking 2026," CEO Michael Rapino says in a statement.
