AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Global Tours: Stray Kids expanded its “Run It” world tour to 31 cities and 46 shows, while Japanese rock band FLOW announced 2027 dates across the U.S., Japan and Nicaragua. Artist Development: NZ On Air is reshaping music funding to help local artists build audiences and careers at home and abroad; local music accounted for just 4% of streams in Aotearoa in 2025–26. Awards & Recognition: Apple Music named Olivia Dean its 2026 Artist of the Year, citing her rapid rise and sold-out global tour. MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN will return June 19, 2027, with a ceremony and international industry events in Tokyo. Global Music: African artists could claim several spots in the 2027 Grammy global music races, with Angélique Kidjo, Tems, Davido and Asake among the contenders. Industry & Legacy: Paul McCartney joined the billionaire ranks with an estimated $1.4 billion fortune, driven partly by his publishing company and music rights.
