I wish it were true but I'm also very aware of how many people I see in audiences today are scrolling instagram while the band plays.
> There are hundreds of thousands of full time touring musical groups world wide, and millions of music festivals every year.
Those figures seem very high, do you have a source for these? Or even how you worked it out as a guesstimate?
- metalman 2y ago8 billion people, maybe 9 billion...200000 bands that gives one band for every 42500 people..... 23 bands in a city of a million was a pure guess, but low right
- AlecSchueler 2y agoBut most bands aren't touring, right? Where does a million+ festivals come from?
- metalman 2y agoall bands tour at one point or another, unless they are "housebands" million + festivals is from my definition of "festive",a million, is a low estimate, again
