Hi A1ex, do you have info on bands?

Big fan of Doves, seen them live a couple of times. My kind of music but not one thats going to sell in the tens of thousands.

I'm a bit confused as to why there are pictures of Kesha in the Melody LA studio when it would seem that the show is live. I've either misunderstood and it's pre-recorded or she's been in to rehearse (which I'm sure is more likely).

Aside, nice to see a ramping of artist popularity. Kesha is a big name, maybe not quite A+ list but a big name. This suggests that the channel is working and artists, or more likely their labels, are keen to put forward bigger names.

I've been in this share for a few years now and, pre covid, feel quite dispirited about the future direction and strategy. I now feel more confident than I have done for the past couple of years. I feel like we are emerging as the highest quality option whilst live gigs are not an option. I do think we need to move this month because someone else will nail it if we don't.

I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned but Michael Eavis has mooted Glastonbury 2021 being postponed until 2022. So it looks like next year's festivals are at risk as well.

1D fan site being followed on twitter....

Horse. If you are invested, why do you have a dedicated twitter account, on which every single message is trashing this share. So that's 750 odd messages on here trashing the share and god knows how many on twitter. Quite the dedication but deathly boring.

Two more One Direction fan accounts added to Twitter followers today. I'm starting to believe. looks like word it out from today's share price behaviour:

*meet and greet ticket is £100

Whilst I'm on. Interesting to see Livenation promote Ellie Goulding doing a virtual show. Interesting price brackets, £13.50 for the live stream and then two bundles, one with a CD @£23.50 and one with a signed CD and T shirt £60, finally a top bracket of meet and greet, which is sold out. To me, this shows what is possible and the level of interest in the personalised experience.

Hi Italian. The latest follow is a One Direction fan twitter fan site but a fairly credible one with 170k followers. I'm not confident this means one direction will be named as the band but there's some logic and I think this makes it 1% more likely. They don't just follow anyone these days. To clarify for any none music fans One Direction would probably the best possible name.

not usually one for partaking in speculation but given my twitter follower theory has proven successful so far, worth looking at the latest addition....

Dare to dream.....

700 posts of the same thing, wow!

Thats not new I'm afraid. Its been around for a couple of years. Great content thought. The Anthony Joshua video really shows what you can do with VR.

Appreciate your views Italian. That's helpful. I'm glad they're a ticketing agency as, with Live Nation on board, I'm less concerned.

Pay what you want model. Money goes to charity. Part of a series of livestreams. There are a few videos on Twitter, looks decent quality. Personally, I think they've stolen a march there by selling out via a paid for model. We don't know how many tickets they sold but lots of people talking very favourably online. Quite a coup to get Liam Payne on board. I still think we have advantages with quality and locations but they seemed to have achieved reach.

*what is Veep?

Apologies of this conversations been had but was is Veep and are we worried that Liam Payne seems to have delivered a sold out virtual show via this platform?

Great news, Nelly was huge so hopefully can still draw a crowd. It's advertised on the app. My theory about artists they follow lately on Twitter on was correct, worth watching :)

Good point about JV's ORLM. Same with China and ME. Not simple.

Agreed Italian. I recall that being raised and it did turn out to be significant. Amazing to think that we could have 50+ (however many O2 Academy's there are around the UK) venues from which we could broadcast. I invested in this (a long time ago) due to the potential reach of one off live shows, i hadn't thought too much about scaling and having multiple live shows per week or even day. The business model here is gold dust, which is why i don't worry too much about revenue generation and more about reach.

IFOXXX, whilst I agree with your overall point, I think those assumptions are someway out. Don't forget that 132k people tuned in for free, in my view about 10-15% of these would actually pay. No idea what the price point would be but my instinct is that your assumption is high.

What I do agree with is the scale and the uncapped reach, which means that, for the right artist, you could reap huge revenues from one show or a sequence of shows.
