I love NIN, and hate masks.

To me, one of the best things about a NIN show is the intense atmosphere created by people in close quarters. This, in turn, generates heat, and sweat, and often the only relief when bodies are crammed together is that one can turn his or her bare face upwards and catch - maybe - a refreshing draft from the venue's HVAC. I cannot fathom having endured a song, let alone an entire show, with a face covering.

If NIN were playing a 'masks-required' show near you, would you go? If so, would you expect to have your mask on the whole time? How would you react to others around you who had removed theirs?

What factor(s) might play into your decision?

Would you pay the same for a masked show as a mask-free one?

Would COVID affect where you sit/stand at a show?

Any thoughts on if "masked" live music shows (not just NIN) might become a commonplace thing?
