They have music festivals and other real-world events that take serious money to put on. To put a music style analogy out, why would a band release a new album and go on tour? So they can make more money.

I'd hope they'd structure their business plan, finances, and insurance to back-stop their exposure in that area. To work with your music analogy, some bands don't have to release a new album to go on tour and make more money (even though they do), and this would be bands like the Rolling Stones or The Eagles. Or KISS, which I guess counts as a band, but I put more in the 'staged entertainment featuring clowns category.
