In the post-pandemic period, the price of live music has exploded, effectively making it impossible for those without adequate financial means to attend concerts and festivals. If we speak and sing to an audience increasingly selected on the basis of one's spending power, the message is also likely to change. Does the music world really want to speak to an increasingly selected and restricted audience? In this panel we rethink the words inclusion, diversity and sustainability from an economic perspective and try to understand the implications.
