Live music in our country is in its best historical moment. This is shown by the latest report of the Association of Musical Promoters (APM), which today has announced the data obtained in 2024 about live music.
The live music business in our country has boomed since 2022. So much, that this 2024 the billing of concerts and festivals has beat its own historical record, reaching 725 million euros. This represents a 25% growth compared to 2023, but in turn in 2023 the income was also 25% higher compared to the previous year.
Of all the autonomous communities, the winner in this regard has been Madrid. In 2024, the billing of the concerts held in the community has been 185 million euros, practically double that in 2023. This translates into an increase of 96%. Instead, Catalonia goes back. Eye, because Karol G has been able to do.
Madrid is responsible for billing almost 26% of the country’s total entries. Catalonia remains stable in terms of figures, but lowers a position in the ranking and ceases to be number 1, having billed almost 139 million euros, which represents a decrease of -9.16% compared to 2023 and being 19% of the country’s total turnover.
