Starting to see things pick up a bit in terms of concert scheduling for this summer.
Good sign.
James Taylor & Jackson Browne reschedule their US tour for this summer
Last January, James Taylor and Jackson Browne announced a joint U.S. tour to take place in May of 2020. Of course, it had to be canceled due to COVID-19, so it was postponed to May of this year. However, now the trek has been rescheduled again. The good news is that it'll actually take place this year, rather than 2022.
The tour, featuring James and his All-Star Band, with Browne as a special guest, gets underway July 29 in Chicago and runs through August 28 in Holmdel, New Jersey.
"We didn't want to have to cancel this tour that we've been waiting so long to perform together, so we've been working to get these dates rescheduled to a time period when the U.S. is reopened and safe to gather for a concert," they continue.
"Of course we will be keeping a close eye and abide with all health and safety protocols throughout each venue and state," James and Jackson add. "We can't wait to get back on stage and see you out there soon."

Bonnaroo may have moved to the fall this year – with new dates scheduled for Sept. 2-5, 2021 – but Tennessee concert-goers will still have several opportunities to enjoy songs under the summer sky during the festival’s Concerts on the Farm series.
Billy Strings is scheduled to perform on the Bonnaroo grounds on May 28, Jon Pardi will perform on May 29 and The Avett Brothers are set to close things out with a trio of concerts on July 2, 3 and 4. Each of these socially distanced shows will be set up in 4-person pods throughout the grounds.

an industry insider says The Stones are going to do some virtual shows and the prices will be high. No word on when or where or what but that is what he said.

Vaccine Passports are coming. But this is what it looks like for now... the latest blog from industry insider Bob Lefsetz.
“ As for the older acts… They’re not going out. The Stones, the Eagles, they’re still afraid of the virus. They might do streams in the interim, to keep the public hungry and attentive, but the prices they’re talking about…the Stones are gonna use flex pricing, for a STREAM?”

The word around the campfire before was that the Stones wanted to tour in 2021 but the insurance companies wanted to push it back to 2022.
Also, I heard this:
"The logistics company that handles their trucks were receiving inquiries to tour as early as May. May of course won’t be happening but it does show their intent to tour sooner than later."

I saw an Upstaging Inc. semi-truck in Dayton getting on I-70 Westbound about a week ago, and couldn't believe it...
Apparently there are a few acts on the road, or he lives nearby and was headin' to start a tour, who knows?
