Live Music Is Officially the World’s Favourite Form of Entertainment 🎤🌎✨

Published November 17, 2025

Ever wonder why the phones explode every time we give away concert tickets? Well… science (okay, Live Nation) has the answer.

A massive new poll has found that live music is the world’s favourite way to be entertained — beating out movies, live sports, streaming, and literally everything else we do to avoid folding laundry.

RELATED: WOULD YOU RATHER GET A LIFETIME 99% DISCOUNT ON CONCERTS, GAS, OR LUXURY GOODS?

🎶 If You Could Only Choose ONE…

People were asked:
If you could only experience one type of entertainment for the rest of your life, what would it be?

The options:

  • Live music
  • Movies
  • Live sports

And the winner?
Live music — with 39% of the vote.
TWICE as many people chose concerts over movies.
Sorry, Hollywood, Beyoncé wins again.

😏 And Here’s the Spicy Part…

A bold 70% of people said they’d rather go see their favourite artist than “get lucky” that night.

Concert > romance.
Honestly? Relatable.

👀 Real Life > Virtual Anything

The study also found:

  • 93% of music fans prefer in-person concerts over virtual or livestreamed ones
  • 80% would rather spend money on experiences than on more “stuff”

(Translation: Take your money, buy the concert ticket, and deal with the credit card bill later. It’s the millennial way.)
