- Large scale live music events in the UK contribute almost £1bn a year to the UK economy, a major industry survey of festivals and concerts suggests.
- At least 7.7 million visits to events in 2009 resulted in £1.4bn being spent, equivalent to a positive contribution to the economy of £864m, UK Music said.
- This expenditure sustained the equivalent of 19,700 jobs, it added.
- One fifth of the total spend came from overseas tourists, who spend 25% more than non-music tourists
