1 week left to take NIVA independent State Of Live survey
NIVA extended the dealing to March 5, and they tell us firmly that there will be no more extensions so that survey findings can be shared at the NIVA conference this summer,
Indie venues, festivals, promoters and touring artists are struggling under increased corporate competition and rising costs. But while good data exists in the UK and Australia, only empirical evidence has backed truth that anyone involved in music in the U.S. knows: it’s harder than ever to turn even a tiny profit in live music.

- Participants are Eligible for a 20% NIVA ’25 Badge Discount: As a thank you for your support, you can access this discount when you complete the survey. Discount codes are sent to the email that completes the survey once a week.
