The "TagMix Effect"
By fluke, I managed to catch this special moment last night on my phone from the crowd during Yungblud’s set, in which he hoisted a young, local fan out the crowd, put his own guitar on him and gave him an experience he’ll never forget - performing in front of 60,000 at Lollapalooza Mumbai! Within seconds I’d TagMixed it using our new mobile app and sent it to the festival’s content team (direct from the crowd) who posted it instantly as a reel on the Official Instagram feed,

Meet TagMix's founder - Andy Dean
This is Andy Dean. He isn't actually MY dad, he's Jagger Dean's dad. But really, he's everyone's dad who cares about sound quality on live music content.

So say adios to 💩-sounding live music content and thanks to dad! 🙏🤩

The Real-Time Social Shift by Market in 2026
The volume of business we do in any given live music market is a strong indicator of how closely that market is aligned with current social algorithms, which remain the primary drivers of attention and ticket demand in today’s landscape. TagMix Revenue by Market in 2025: Last year, the US and Asia-Pac, particularly the Middle East, were leading the shift. This year, it’s been striking to see Central Europe step forward so decisively, now accounting for the largest share of ou

The social goal-posts have moved
The biggest festival marketing shift in over a decade has already happened. Most people just haven't realised it yet. After analysing thousands of posts from the 30 festivals that used TagMix this year, one pattern is impossible to ignore. The events seeing the biggest lifts in reach, engagement and ticket momentum are the ones that stopped relying on polished edits and aftermovies, switching instead to real-time, audio-first content during the show. Instant, authentic clips
