What does this mean for the music industry?
Speaking at his press conference today, Nyovest announced BP and AG Mobile as his sponsors for the show. He further says: “I’m not making money from #FillUpTheDome….I’m losing money….but it’s about how I can inspire the kids to dream big.”
The cost to fill up the dome is R4.2m and revenue from a sold out show is +- R3m, according to Nyovest.
