A guy on TV last night was saying that artists got too greedy and left the promoters with so little percentage (<10%) that live music is dying on its arse because the promoters have to do so much work and cannot make a profit. Hence you have to be really big to book the venues these days. If the artists (as a whole entity + entourage) get 90% that's fine, but if that's preventing them booking venues in the first place that's clearly not fine.
