The summer of music industry mayhem

  • Summary

  • It’s summer concert season, and you may be paying a fortune to see your favourite artists at home, travelling abroad for cheaper tickets, or forgoing the pricey concert experience altogether.

    For most musicians, the financial picture is dire. Our guest, author and Polaris Award-winning artist and producer Cadence Weapon – the tech skeptic behind the new album Rollercoaster – breaks down the depressing economics of an industry governed by Ticketmaster trauma, streaming algorithms and an AI invasion.

    Also, Vass and Katrina discuss getting cooler friends.
