Even concerts barely break even for artists after all expenses. Right now, merch and physical album sales are the best way (other than directly giving money) to support your favorite artists. I don’t buy physical albums because they just become clutter at home, so I make it a point to buy merch when I go to a concert.

Album sales make next to no money for artists unless they self publish. Almost all of the money goes to the publisher etc.
Buying digital albums works just as well. No need to go physical.
