StubHub have released their 2025 live experiences report:
Legacy acts ruled the stage in 2025. Nostalgia tours from Oasis, Green Day, and My Chemical Romance turned memory into momentum, inspiring fans to travel, reconnect, and re-engage with the live music economy.
2026 Prediction: In 2026, expect more “heritage cycle” programming, festivals, and promoters curating lineups around legacy artists and milestone albums.
Ashley King, writing for Digital Music News:
A shareholder class action lawsuit has been filed against StubHub following its post-IPO stock price plunge. The lawsuit alleges the company made materially false or misleading statements, failing to disclose “material adverse information” regarding its business and cash flow.
The complaint, filed in New York federal court on Monday, is one of at least three lawsuits stemming from StubHub’s lackluster quarterly earnings report. It was filed by investors who bought into StubHub’s $758 million initial public offering (IPO) in September. At least four other law firms have announced that they’ve opened their own investigations into StubHub’s numbers.
