What is the Survey?
Live DMA collects data of the venues and clubs part of the network every year, in order to monitor the situation of the live music sector in Europe. Live DMA’s observation work is named ‘The Survey’, as part of the Live DMA project Live Style Europe, since 2017. It is a great tool to better understand the functioning of European live music scenes. The Survey presents details on the administrative formats, accomodations, functions, activities, audiences, human resources and financial situation of the European venues and clubs, as a crucial part of the live music ecosystem. The data collected provide a clear snapshot of the social, economic and cultural value of the sector.
Live DMA presents the key numbers in various publications since 2013, including recent reports on COVID-19 pandemic effects for music venues and clubs in 2020 and 2021, compared to the 2019 numbers. The data results are important for the representation of the live music venues and clubs on a local, regional, national, and European level. It helps policy makers to understand the role, capacities, and values of these live music entities. We encourage the use of The Survey to help the sector fulfill its objectives, such as being recognized as a crucial part of the cultural landscape.
