Live music attracted more than 19m punters traveling in the U.K. and from overseas to see shows in 2023, up 33% over the previous year, according to a report by trade body UK Music.

Most music tourists traveled from within the U.K., with 1m coming from abroad. That’s a slight decline compared to the 1.05m who came from outside the U.K. to see music in 2022, when the overall attendance figure was more than 14m.

Total music tourism spending in 2023 was £8b ($10.3b), an increase of 21% over the previous year Music tourism employed 62,000 people last year, a 17% jump over 2022.

The trade body examined concerts by Beyoncé, the Weeknd, Harry Styles and Blur, as well festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown and TRNSMT to gather data. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour dates this year will surely boost the 2024 figures.

Interestingly, the overall growth in music tourism has not helped the downward trend in festival cancellations or the closure of music venues in Great Britain. According to a report released earlier this week by the Association of Independent Festivals, 50 U.K. festivals have either completely closed or been postponed this year due to rising costs and changes in ticket buying practices. Per the Music Venue Trust, 125 venues either shut down or stopped supporting live music in 2023.

Events that have been pulled this year include Shindig, Neighbourhood Weekender, Standon Calling, Bluedot, Barn on the Farm and Nozstock: The Hidden Valley. Insiders predict that without government or private sector help, the U.K. will see more than 100 festivals disappear in 2024.
