Concerts in Australia and Demand in 2027

There will no doubt be stories about this in the months to come, but based on my understanding, 2027 is turning out to be a big year for international performance in Australia.

That means spending (think demand and RBA monetary policy).

We can't have a series of cash rate hikes if demand doesn't slow, so we can only hope there's a slowdown somewhere else to offset demand growth due to such spending.

Some context: Calvin Harris has announced two new dates for Sydney, making it a total of three, even before the official pre-sales began this morning. (And before you ask, I only know this artist because of my daughters and niece)

Perhaps I am overanalysing. But RBA might still want to note.
