HITS' FIRST LIVE ISSUE TAKES THE STAGE THIS FALL

October will bring an array of wonders and weirdness—and almost certainly a lot of J.D. Vance-attached-to-a-couch Halloween costumes. Now you can add another fascinating phenomenon to your fall checklist: HITS' inaugural live-music special.

That's right, kids: For the first time ever, HITS will devote an entire issue to the phenomenal growth of the live sector, which has become so massively lucrative for so many artists. Who's making the lion's share of the revenue? Who are the rising stars in the space? Which tours are smashing the most records? What about the festival biz? Do they have this T-shirt in XXL? Look for answers to at least some of these questions when we roll this puppy out in October. And don't bogart that tallboy.
