very organised with established platform in the international music
industry. Going by Pollstar estimates, the concert industry segment
generated to the tune of 2.5 billion dollars in 2003 and 2.1 billion
dollars in 2002 and nearly 1.75 billion dollars in 2001 with the
limited but celebrated talent they possess."
