Your weekly guide to the music biz and how it all works. In this week’s episode of The Price of Music, Steve and Stu unwrap the week's music biz goings-on:

  • An exploding toilet caused a gig cancellation – but what now for the band, fans and the venue?

  • Stu’s Big Number is $2.45bn - it’s big, but why might it feel scary to artists and labels?

  • Spotify might also put their prices by a dollar in the US - who will welcome this (and who won’t?)

  • Three AI music-making companies have struck deals with major labels - but who and why?

  • The UK ticket levy to help smaller grassroots venues is taking off – so what's next? Stu's been chatting to an MP to find out.

  • TPOM’s continued role as your Primary Baby Shark News Resource continues as Stu explains how many millions of dollars it made last year (it was a lot).

And in the special post-show lock-in section just for our Patreon Superfans, Steve and Stu prop themselves at the bar to chat about:

  • Steve once flew several thousand miles to watch a band, only for them to quit after a mere three songs. But which now-massive band was it?

  • Who are Steve and Stu's artists of the year? (Including Wet Leg and Self Esteem)

    What was the annual Reader's Poll like behind the scenes at the NME for Steve?

  • More unusual gig cancellation stories - including pigeons pooping on Kings of Leon, Neil Young’s sandwiches, and more

  • What’s the city of Manchester doing to support local venues and promoters?

As ever, we welcome your feedback, emails and – in particular – any questions you might have about how the music biz works!
