“It feels like there are more arena openings than ever this year, with exciting state-of-the-art buildings coming on stream the world over,” says the Guide’s editor James Drury. “And as we discover in our 69 in-depth market reports – covering every continent except Antarctica – the breadth of content filling the stages is growing, too. And there are many more venues in the pipeline, as we explore in our special feature looking at forthcoming arenas around the globe.

“Plus, we look at the latest innovations making the industry more sustainable, including a deep-dive behind the scenes at the world’s first carbon-removed concerts. And as well as deep and insightful explorations of the industry, the directory includes details of almost 600 arenas – vital information when planning tours.”
