Coming up, if you want to see one of those big stadium shows this summer, you'll probably have to travel to get there.

Robert Levine is based in Berlin, and he writes a column for Billboard.

Well, not dull at all, because I just learned so much about just how concert ticket prices are changing.

And it helped really explain to me the sticker shock I've been experiencing as someone who loves and enjoys concerts.

Now, I'm based in New York, so the news of Harry Styles' upcoming tour really perked my interest.

He'll be here for a 30-night residency, and he has no other U.S.

shows on his tour.

I found that kind of interesting, and it felt to me like a signal of something changing in the music industry largely.

Can you explain to me the business of Harry staying put like this?

Why has this become a thing for artists?

What do we think this tour represents?

So is that why we're seeing someone like Harry Styles sit for 30 nights at MSG?

Is it to lower travel costs?

I want to ask about the New York piece, though, when we think about Harry Styles specifically.

Because, you know, I think back to the fame, and I don't have to go all the way back to Elvis for kind of famous residencies in Vegas.

Think about Celine Dion.

Or more recently, folks like Adele or even Usher.

Well, being able to be here in Las Vegas has given me that opportunity to find more balance because I've got kids that are going to school, babies that are learning how to swim, and I want to spend that time.

It seems as if, from what you're saying, it makes sense for the artist in terms of reducing travel costs.

It makes sense because, you know, maybe resale markets have made it clear to entertainment industry that the demand for higher prices is there.
