The rankings provide a clear picture of which agencies, agents, artist managers, and venues are the current market leaders in the global live music industry.

Not surprisingly, the UK dominates the European ranking, with nine of the top ten agencies located there. Together, these nine agencies account for over 22% of all monitored tour dates, underlining the UK’s overwhelming role in the European live music market. The only exception is Avocado Booking (Germany), with 4,208 bookings and a 1.31% share.

The results also highlight the global strength of two industry leaders: Wasserman Music, the world’s largest booking agency with around 2,500 artists in its music department, and Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the second largest with roughly 2,200 artists represented.

In addition to monitoring agencies, VIP-Booking.com also tracks which individual booking agents represent the largest rosters of touring artists. Here too, Wasserman agents feature prominently at the top of the list, though leading names from CAA and WME also appear in the global Top 20 agents ranking.

Beyond agencies and agents, VIP-Booking.com also publishes rankings of the Top 20 Artist Managers, Top 20 Venues, and the Top 20 Most Touring Artists, offering a broader overview of the live music ecosystem.
