Not really, and the Live Nation shit storm that happened today isn’t going to help get things restarted whenever the opportunity presents itself. This is gonna be MLB ugly.

He really needs to give up on spending so much setlist time on the hits and just make a medley. Down in the Car Park would be great for this show.Originally Posted by bobbie solo

Yeah, gonna be one of those things you tell the grandkids.
"back in my day... 10k people gathered in 2 place to listen to music!"
Yikes, I just googled what you were talking about... concerts may very well never return again.
Least not with Live Nation as a promoter. Hopefully Artists are gonna find other means to hold shows now. Maybe someone else will step up to the plate as a reasonable promoter.
What kinda world would we live in if there were no more concerts ever again? Geez.

Just looked it up and, bloody hell, how did something as generally benign as live music end up with these evil corporate scourges to deal with just to tour?

Interesting to see that now it’s supposedly only festivals? I think Rolling Stone was the first to break this news but could be wrong. Will see if anything really comes of it, or if it’s just a fart in the 2020 wind.:

Starting on Saturday, June 27th Western Australia is lifting it's concert gig lockdown,
“Unseated performances will be allowed at venues such as concert halls, live music venues, bars and pubs,” Premier Mark McGowan said today (22nd June).
In addition, events at major venues – like Perth Stadium – will be able to host events at 50 percent capacity. That means that Perth Stadium, for example, will be able to hold up to 30,000 people.

Apparently Wisconsin is going to hold a mini 3 day "nu-metal" music festival July 16-18 featuring Static-X and Dope.
Oh, and get this... they're calling it "Herd Immunity Fest" lol... We're approaching July 1st, only missed April fools by 3 months, lol.
This should be interesting to see how this pans out.
https://musicfeeds.com.au/news/wisco...iX1iwV2-8sQ2kA
Everyone who attends this event should sign a waiver that they won't leave the house 14 days after and at that point, they should all get tested.
If no cases come from it, I think that's an indication we could probably start hosting more live events.
Of course, I hope everyone that attends at least has common sense to wear a mask. If I were the promoter and going forth with this festival as planned, I would make it mandatory for all attendees to wear a mask to get in. Guess we'll see if this event even goes on as planned.
EDIT: Went scrolling through the facebook post, the promoter has responded to some comments saying masks are not mandatory... this should be interesting...
EDIT2: One of the bands on the bill, "Nonpoint" Pulled out of the show once they saw the festival name being printed on the posters as "Herd Immunity Fest"

The Virus Inside
There are a few places I could pop this article...
I will leave it here I guess since it has to do with shows. I'll probably cross post it in the COVID news thread as well.
1500 people were invited to an indoor "test concert" in Germany to learn how COVID is spread inside.

Thoughts?
https://www.theprp.com/2020/11/11/ne...r-live-events/
I'll get vaccinated but I think I'll just wait until it's safe again to go to another show, then to risk it and jump through all these hoops. And if I never go to another show, I had a pretty good run.
Fuck ticketmaster
The Virus Inside
I came to post this.
And FUCK ticketmaster is right.
I'm not gonna be lining up anytime soon to guinea pig a vaccine that was created in 10 months.
I'm in the "might pass on this nonsense and wait until it's safe" camp.

I had to back up 7 pages to find this thread. So the Thunder concert that had already been postponed to May this year has now been put back to May 2022.
not holding out much for Rammstein going ahead in June! I’ve got to be honest, I’d feel pretty scared at a stadium the way things are now. I wonder if a lot of people are going to be freaked out by the proximity of people when gigs return or if people won’t go straight back.
it is now nearly a year since my last show of Lindemann in London. The idea of going on the tube again freaks me out now

I'm surprised artists/bands are not taking the opportunity to do more virtual concerts. Like if NIN said tomorrow that they're going to start performing once a month virtually - all 314,353,093 of us would be right there logging in. And they don't have to be together, like the Bowie thing - it can all be recorded ahead of time. It would help the artist/band to gain more income than relying on live concerts and merchandise.

And I know this wouldn't work successfully for all artists/bands. At least marketing wise they could be able to promote themselves in a different way.

As much as I am happy that concerts are coming back, I'm just going to wait until it gets closer to the date to buy tickets. Especially the 2022 dated ones, who knows what the hell is gonna happen.
I was nobody. Nothing.
I just wanna see my OTHER favorite band this year, Old 97s. They have ONE show scheduled.
I've seen them somewhere between 75 and 100 times, but it's such a cathartic thing, that's SO personal, since I first started going to see them play at their first shows when I was 13, watched them blow up and sign to a major label, appear in The Breakup, have their songs on shows like The Walking Dead, and eventually, become known as the most important alt-country band of all time.
It's a huge part of the soundtrack to my life, and it's DEFINITELY the LIVE soundtrack to my life.
I'm looking to catch them in Denver, if I can't talk them into coming to Amarillo again.
Also REALLY hoping ZZ Top and Bob Dylan reschedule their 2020 Amarillo shows.
NOBODY plays shows around here, and they were both booked to play our 50-60 year old colosseum last summer.
Bite me
Here's ours so far:
October 7: Dead Can Dance at the Chicago Theater, rescheduled from last year
November 16: Genesis at the United Center
Edit: And a TON of classical from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Ravinia Festival this summer

Have tickets to
Sept 12 - Alanis Morissette, Garbage & Liz Phair @ Pine Knob Detroit
Sept 17 - Lane 8, Sultan + Shepard @ Majestic Detroit
Was considering Riot Fest but I guess I'm just now realizing that would conflict with Lane 8 lol. And def want to see NIN/Pixies in Cleveland Sept 21-23. Obviously.
Also anticipating a Tori Amos tour for Nov/Dec area.

Contemplating catching Deftones in September and was considering Furnace Fest but doubt I'll go. After spending 15-ish months bottled up, it's going to take some time before I'm comfortable in a crowd.

WHAT!? oh my god i am so jealous. i saw them in millennium park like 8(?) years ago and it was amazing, but that was the only time.
I was nobody. Nothing.
So ZZ Top IS touring again...and NOT making up the Amarillo date.
If you guys are confused as to why I'd be so excited about ZZ, it's that Amarillo LITERALLY gets like one or two shows per year, and it's Stryper or some shit like that. It USED to be a regular tour stop for national acts, and I'm not entirely sure why bands stopped coming, except for maybe that the "colosseum" was built in the sixties.
Edit: But, OH SHIT, we got STYX in October! :/
Styx and Dwight Yoakam. Those are LITERALLY the only shows between now and mid 2022, in between a bunch of high school proms, gun shows, quinceñeras, etc.

Meanwhile a lot European Festivals are getting postponed again, to 2022.
Sziget, Firenze, Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park, Roskilde, Pinkpop, Open'er, Hurricane - just to name a few big ones...
I assume that one of the reasons is they involve much more international traveling, unlike US festivals that can easily do with 100% domestic lineups and audiences.

Come to Furnace Fest. I need someone to hang out with.

This will be the third time we’ve seen them.
First time was on a date with G at the Riv in 1996, and we had first row. And he didn’t know he’d gotten first row, it was kinda hilarious. Second time was at the Pritzker Pavilion in 2012.
We are really looking forward to this!

I'm going to Ohana Fest for my 40th birthday, can't wait to go to a show again.
I've also never seen Pearl Jam so I'm excited to do that finally as well.
