IQ is today shutting up shop until 2 January 2019.
While we’ll be sure to keep you abreast of any major industry goings-on over the festive period, there won’t be an IQ Index newsletter until we return, so don’t panic if your inbox looks decidedly devoid of concert business news for the remainder of 2018.
From everyone at IQ, we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
