“Live music is my passion, but over the last couple of years, prices have gone crazy,” says Amy Law, 35, a New Zealander living in London. “I used to go to gigs weekly, but I haven’t been since June.”
Amy, an EDM fan, says it used to be quite normal for her to pay £15 to £20 to watch a DJ at Electric Brixton before the Covid pandemic. “This week I decided against seeing Lost Frequencies there because it was over £50. Fifty! I’m gutted because he’s my favourite DJ at the moment. It’s a shame because gigs are such a wonderful communal experience and an outlet for life’s frustration. We’re missing out.”
