New Post: 25 Biggest Concert Residencies of All Time - https://lnkd.in/gzPac6uK - Each year, an uncountable number of recording artists transform their discographies into live shows, going on tour to super-serve their biggest fans around the world. But a select few have the power to bring their fans to them, staging extravagant productions in one city as the masses travel to see a once-in-a-career performance. Here, we’re looking at the biggest residencies in Boxscore history. Most often, these residencies occur at theaters in Las Vegas. Among the most popular international tourist destinations, Sin City has become a second home for many of the biggest acts in music. Some ground rules: as with all Boxscore charts, this list only includes shows that were reported to Billboard Boxscore. The threshold for inclusion on this list is a minimum of 10 shows at a single venue. Some productions, especially those by MGM, will have a home base at a Vegas theater but travel to a handful of other venues, like The Theater at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md. – only the home-venue shows will count toward residency totals. Further, this list only includes residencies that have their own unique names and productions and setlists – no mini-residencies within a tour. That means that Harry Styles’ 15-show runs at Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum are excluded, as they were part of Love On Tour. Same goes for the theater stints that made up Madonna’s Madame X Tour in 2019-20. However, residencies that are broken up by tours do count. That means that Bruno Mars’ Park MGM residency – interrupted by the 24K Magic World Tour – is eligible, as is Carrie Underwood’s ongoing Reflection. Scroll below for the 25 highest-grossing concert residencies of all time, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. Most recently, Dead & Company led a summer stint at Las Vegas’ Sphere, while Billy Joel and Lady Gaga wrapped years-long residencies in New York and Vegas, respectively. - #news #business #world #jobs #school #passion

Check out this beautiful transformation!

How does a building look like sails, shells, and boats? I’ve read many confusing descriptions, so I was thrilled to learn that the Sydney Opera House installed a tactile model for blind guests! Video Transcript Haben (Voiceover): The Sydney Opera House has a tactile model. She leans down to touch the bronze coated sculpture sitting on a low pedestal. The shape of the three buildings resemble billowing sails pressed together in a row. The two largest buildings have four of these flowing sails, and a small building, the restaurant, has two sails. As Haben studies the model, she speaks to Rebeka, their tour guide. Haben: It is very cool to actually feel the roof that people talk about and to actually experience it. Rebeka: Yeah, it's a very unique shape. Photo: A close-up of the model shows print and Braille along four sides. Haben: My friend Nessa reached out to them, arranging this tactile tour. Photo: Haben and Seeing Eye dog Mylo stand next to a young woman. They’re all smiling, and behind them is the Sydney Opera House, the bright blue water of the harbor, and the bridge. Haben: Which included going all the way up to the sail-shaped roof and feeling the tiles on the roof. Photo: A curved concrete shell covered in diamond-shaped tiles rises into the blue sky. Alternating white and cream colors create a slight checkerboard effect. Haben stretches her arm up to touch the tiles.

How can you give a visual tour to people who are blind? Tactile models! This is such a cool example of rethinking how information is being provided. Is our accessibility work meeting people where they are? Or are we providing our interpretations instead of allowing people to experience things themselves?

Today's #MusicalMinute is packed with short notes, but where are the silences? It's like a pointillist painting, reminding me of atomic structures. Daily creativity sparks random thoughts and ideas. What's your take? https://lnkd.in/dwvNfeY5

In my opinion, every wedding should have giant balls for people to get inside. By 2029 it could be the norm at most weddings the same way a cake or a first dance is. Or socks that say 'groom' on the side. #giantweddingballs #documentaryweddingphotography #photojournalism #engaged #weddingplanning

A very elegant design. This must be something to see. First [ever] Opera House in Saudi Arabia. The world around us is changing; fast

Each type of silk saree involves a unique weaving process that can take anywhere from a few days to several months, depending on the complexity of the design and the skill of the weaver. Silk sarees are often worn during festivals, weddings, and special occasions, symbolizing grace, tradition, and opulence. DM wa.link/ycm455
