In the 20th century, particularly after World War II, concert activity
was greatly stimulated by the radio and the phonograph. Larger concert
halls were built, and orchestral and chamber music concerts became one
of the main attractions at music festivals.
The explosive growth of popular music in the 20th century saw the
concert evolve once more. Television played a major role in expanding
the global reach of rock music, and outdoor rock festivals were attended
by tens of thousands of concertgoers. The most popular musicians
embarked on international tours, playing before crowds in large concert
venues around the world. As the Internet reshaped the music industry in
the 21st century, the revenue generated by live performances became
increasingly important for professional musicians.

In a digital age dominated by algorithms and screens, we celebrate live
music as a universal experience of joy and one of the last bastions of
tribal human connection, tolerance and self-expression.
