Live Nation invests in Romanian promoter Emagic and Slovak agency Vivien to address concert supply gap

Live Nation has invested in Romanian promoter Emagic and Slovak booking agency Vivien as part of its expansion across Central and Eastern Europe. The move addresses a significant supply-demand gap, with over 50% of Slovak fans and 47% of Romanian fans travelling to other cities for concerts due to limited local events. Emagic, active since 2005, has promoted major acts including Metallica, Coldplay and Guns N' Roses in Romania. Vivien has brought artists such as Beyoncé, Rammstein and Iron Maiden to Slovakia whilst managing leading Slovak act IMT Smile. The investments aim to increase concert volumes across more cities, reduce fan travel requirements and improve access to international touring artists. The strategy follows Live Nation's recent growth in Hungary and other neighbouring markets.

Nashville REIT with 5% yield owns Grand Ole Opry, challenges Live Nation's concert dominance

Ryman Hospitality Properties, a hotel REIT with a 5% dividend yield, offers investors exposure to the live music industry through its ownership of Nashville's Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium. The company owns five of the 10 largest nongaming convention hotels in the US, managed by Marriott under the Gaylord brand. Whilst Live Nation Entertainment dominates primary ticketing with an 80% market share at major venues, Ryman provides an alternative investment angle. The company's entertainment segment is growing faster than its convention business, benefiting from country music's strong touring revenue, which topped $1.2 billion last year amongst the top 10 tours. After suspending its dividend during COVID-19, Ryman's adjusted funds from operations per share and dividend have recovered, now sitting 23% and 29% above 2019 levels respectively.
