DETERMINANTS OF SPENDING AT A LIVE MUSIC PERFORMANCE IN SOUTH AFRICA
47 ABSTRACT
Live concert performances by bands are important places for popular music consumption and occupy an important place on the tourism and events calendar. These shows are held all over the world mostly due to their considerable economic and job creation benefits. However, few artists/bands from the developed world include South Africa in their world tours and performances of these artists/bands are therefore sought after by the South Africa public. Live music performances and concerts are therefore well promoted in the country and attract a variety of visitors. Neil Diamond was one of the most anticipated live music events ever witnessed in South Africa where he performed for the first time in the country in 2011 at the age of 70.
