Concert Residencies in Big Cities Are Here to Stay. That’s Great for Artists — What About Fans?

Ugh, I'm both stoked and sad about this whole residency thing . On one hand, I love the idea of artists having more control over their performances and being able to create something truly special for their fans. Like Harry Styles' festival vibes sound like a total blast! But on the other hand, it's crazy how expensive it can get to attend a show these days . I mean, who needs that kind of financial strain just to see their favorite artist? It feels like the old-school tour vibe is getting lost in the shuffle. And what about the fans who can't afford to travel or stay for multiple shows? Do they get left out of the party? Still, I guess it's all about finding that sweet spot where artistry meets accessibility... fingers crossed!

omg i am so down for this residency tour thing!!! i mean what's not to love? the artist gets to have more control over their show and can focus on creating something amazing instead of rushing from city to city... and fans get to experience these epic events that go way beyond just a concert! i'm low-key jealous of harry styles' 68 shows in 8 cities tho it sounds like an absolute dream come true... but at the same time i do worry about how expensive it's gonna be for people who can't afford to travel and stay in another city just to see their fave artist maybe the ticket prices will be super reasonable so everyone can join in on the fun? fingers crossed!

I'm loving the new vibe of concert residencies! It's like artists are finally getting to relax and really showcase their talents without having to rush from city to city . And can you imagine how epic Harry Styles' weekend-long bash is going to be? The logistics might seem a bit pricey for some fans, but I think that's part of the charm - it's an experience, not just a concert ticket. Artists are smart to take control of their creative output and invest in making these shows special. It's all about finding that sweet spot between profit and fan accessibility

I'm loving this new direction in the live music scene! Concert residencies are like a whole different world – artists have so much more control over their shows, which means you get that extra special something . And can we talk about Harry Styles' party weekend? That sounds like an absolute blast! The economics make sense too, less expense on equipment and setup , it's all good for the artist's wallet .

But, what really gets me is how this model can bring fans together . I mean, imagine having a whole city dedicated to music for one weekend – it's like a mini-festival within itself ! Of course, accessibility is still an issue , but if done right, these residencies can create experiences that'll keep you coming back for more . It's all about creating a win-win situation for both artists and fans

I'm totally down for this residency thing ! I mean, think about it - you get to see your fave artist multiple times in the same place, with all the extra goodies that come with it... like a whole festival vibe ! It's genius, right? And the economics make sense too. Like, who needs to break the bank on merch and flights just to see one show?

But what really gets me is how it's changing the live music experience . I mean, we're not just talking about a concert anymore - it's an event, a weekend getaway... it's like a festival within the festival! And that's so cool .

The only thing that's got me thinking is accessibility . Like, how do you make this work for everyone? Not everyone can afford to take time off or travel just to see one show . But I think it's a great challenge... and if done right, residency tours could bring live music to so many more people !
