Livestreamed concerts are establishing themselves as complementary experiences, rather than replacements for in-person gigs. A picture of the average livestreamer — older millennials who are entertainment super-consumers — is coming into focus. Now, as the rise of social video coincides with the return of in-person concerts and festivals, user-generated content (UGC) at shows is joining the digital concert mix. Artists, marketing teams, and promoters can work with this development, not against it, by segmenting audiences into three experiences: UGC, the official livestream, and the in-person show, each experience funnelling some of its audience into the next.
