A growing number of bands are skipping arenas in favour of small clubs, bars and record shops. Tickets are cheaper, the sound is closer and every show feels different.
For musicians, smaller rooms mean lower costs and a direct connection with fans. Many sell vinyl and merchandise at the door and meet the audience after the show.
Venue owners say the trend has helped them recover after difficult years, and several new clubs have opened in cities that had lost them.
