Artists and record labels are starting to realize that live music is a great way to stay profitable. Although the digital download business is seeing amazing growth, the idea that people should pay for songs has pretty much gone out the window. If you can fill up a venue with adoring fans (who paid an arm and a leg for tickets) and sell them t-shirts, posters, and whatever else people buy at concerts, you can still make a lot of money. If this trend continues Live Nation should be primed for success, they have the “most live concerts, music venues and festivals in the world and the most comprehensive concert search engine on the web.”
If you love live music, an internship with Live Nation might be something worth considering. Their website, LiveNation.com, is targeted towards becoming the world’s largest concert search engine, and they also own and operate the House of Blues, “a home for live music and southern-inspired cuisine.” It seems that they’re trying to cover all of the bases when it comes to making it easy for fans to see their favorite artists in real life. They make searching for concert tickets simple and they provide in-depth information about artists and venues. Beyond that they also run House of Blues which hosts a ton of live music events.
Live Nation’s Jobs site won’t allow us to link to specific internships, so we’ll tell you which internships they have posted, and you’ll have to use their search function to find them. You’ll have to have choose to list all jobs (don’t only search for internships, they won’t show up), and then scan the listings for the internships. Live Nation is apparently headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, but they’re offering two Fall internships elsewhere. There’s a Sponsorship Internship in Houston, TX and a Permium Seat Sales Internship in Phoenix, AZ. The internships are unpaid and for credit only, and you can apply online on Live Nation’s website. There are also a lot of hourly jobs at House of Blues locations, so if you’re looking for a part-time job instead of an internship, you may want to check those out.
