The National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) has released its individual State of Live reports, a series of statewide studies examining the economic contributions of independent venues across all 50 states and Washington, D.C. The reports provide policymakers, community leaders, and NIVA members with localized data on the contributions and challenges of independent venues, festivals, and promoters.

Independent stages generated $153.1 billion in economic investment across the U.S. in 2024, based on the NIVA State of Live survey.
