The "Crossing Mountains and Seas to Love Together -2023 Annual Insight into the Performance Market for Large Concerts" released by the China Performance Industry Association and others on the 21st shows that the box office of large-scale concerts with over 5000 people in mainland China in 2023 was nearly 14.6 billion yuan, setting a new historical high. The number of large-scale concerts has exceeded 2400, with a total of over 20 million spectators. The main characteristics of the 2023 concert market are large scale and multiple performances: the number of concerts with over 10000 people in 2023 has tripled compared to 2019, totaling 313 performances.
