After a couple years of the concert industry being dormant, 2022 was a banner year for artists hitting road. But with so many acts eager to hit the road and play in front of their fans, Live Nation discovered that music fans only had so much cash to spend and were picking and choosing their concerts carefully.

They call it Concert Week, where Live Nation puts a flat rate on select tickets for hundreds of artists at hundreds of venues from coast to coast. Concert Week is back for 2023 with 16 shows in Maine getting the flat rate treatment for the next week.
