The chart illustrates the attendance rates of various age groups at music events in Australia in 2006. It highlights differences in preferences for classical, rock, and pop music among different age categories.

In 2006, the attendance for classical music events was relatively low across all age groups, with about 12% of individuals aged 15-24 attending. This percentage is notably higher compared to older groups, where the attendance rates ranged from 7% to 9%. The highest proportion of classical music attendees were people aged 35-44 years, with around 9% participating. In contrast, those aged 45 and above showed even lower interest, with attendance rates decreasing to around 7%.

Rock music, on the other hand, saw higher engagement across younger age groups. Approximately 45% of individuals aged 15-24 attended rock events, and this interest declined progressively with age, reaching only about 25% among those aged 45 and above. Pop music enjoyed wide appeal, with the highest attendance rates of around 50% in the 25-34 age group, and steadily decreasing to 35% in older demographics.

Overall, while classical music had a consistent but modest attendance, rock and pop music drew significantly more interest from younger audiences, reflecting their dominant role in shaping music event preferences.
