A look at agriculture

Jan Delay's connection to Hesse is deeply rooted. The artist himself likes to describe Hesse as the most beautiful federal state and is particularly looking forward to the open-air concert in Butzbach. “I can hardly wait to perform with a great band in front of an enthusiastic audience,” says Delay. He also emphasizes how proud he is that many fans bring their children to his concerts. This shows the loyal fan base, which is the most important thing to him, because that's how he sees the cross-generational impact of his music.

The challenges of the music industry

In the soulful music scene, not only artists like Jan Delay, but also the entire industry are experiencing serious changes. According to Statista the music industry has recovered since the 2000s, especially after 2019. In 2024, the global music industry generated an impressive revenue of around $29.6 billion. Nevertheless, sales of physical recordings are declining and the download market is struggling with declining numbers due to piracy. Streaming platforms such as Spotify, on the other hand, dominate and are expected to generate 85 percent of music sales in Germany.

Streaming has opened up many new opportunities for artists, but it also contributes to the discussion about fair remuneration in the music business, as a record has fewer than 10,000 streams. The process of writing songs remains a creative challenge for artists who are shaped by technological advances and changing listening habits.

In view of the upcoming concert in Butzbach and the impressive development of the music industry, we can only hope that Jan Delay continues to find creative ways to inspire his loyal fan base.
