Live Nation CEO Says Largescale U.S. Concerts Could ‘Start in Midsummer’
[www.spin.com]
Live Nation then put up 100,000 tickets for the Reading & Leeds festival, scheduled for Aug. 27 and 29 — all of which sold out by late in the week.
The company also put up tickets for the dance-music-based Creamfields fest Aug. 26 to 29, which sold out its full capacity of 70,000 tickets in 48 hours.
Large scale concerts more towards end of summer, but I bet he's close on the prediction.
Lots of smaller scale shows will be rolling by late spring-mid-summer no doubt.
I've got several Red Rocks shows booked in July along with some smaller shows starting in June.
Betting I won't be returning a single ticket due to postponements.
The indu$try is too big to not figure out how to do fully vaccinated shows, and by then, the majority of us will be.

Fantastic Negrito is a singer and I wasn’t familiar with him either until I saw him play a few songs several years ago on A Prairie Home Companion. I thought he was good.
It’s disappointing to hear more shows are being canceled instead of postponed again but I’m not surprised. I’ve held on to all my tickets for shows that are still postponed but I’m getting less optimistic.

Give or take a couple of words here and there, the statement issued by Taylor Swift sounds like it could be given by a number of different bands right now .
Roger Waters, the Stones...wondering how long they can possibly hold out in postponement limbo while some fans hold out hope for shows to be rescheduled.
Seems the recent activity of posts from the Stones (including the 10% merch discount ) amounted to nothing one way or the other yet - no rescheduled shows, and no cancellations.
I guess no news is good news, but time is marching on and nobody is getting any younger...

Interesting read on the live music business. It gets you to wondering if touring as we knew it can ever be done again. Considering how reckless some folks are here in the U-S regarding Covid and taking precautions, wearing a mask, etc., I wouldn't want to be in a venue and worrying about whether the people around me are safe to be near.

A local news station in Nashville, Tennessee, NewsChannel 5 Nashville announced that The Rolling Stones have postponed the No Filter tour yet again. Looks like no tour in 2021.

Of course, there's nothing to postpone "yet again" as nothing was rescheduled in the first place. But it's kind of weird that a local news station would run that story?
