Almost as swiftly as shows were canceled, artists and fans embraced live music streaming. Since March 2020, over 22,000 artists have performed more than 79,500 concert live streams and marketed them at no cost on Bandsintown.

A new survey of 7688 fans and artists commissioned by Bandsintown finds that music live streams are now mainstream and definitely here to stay.
