Doesn't sound very Rock and Roll at all...sounds more like listening to a solemn sermon during a church service.
Would probably be more lively at a funeral....

Yes, I’d pass. Why can’t they have mandatory face-covering and scarp the distancing? That’s the point of the covering, no? When you can’t ‘socially distance’?

I agree that it's a ridiculous scene and not one I'd ever choose to be a part of. However, how do you police a packed crowd of masked concert goers to ensure every single person complies? You simply can't. All it takes is one infected non complier hidden in the middle of the crowd and we're stuffed. Masks on an infected person help prevent that person spreading germs. They offer little to no protection for everyone else from an unmasked infected person.

Live music as we know it is almost certainly a goner for this year and most or all of next and as bitter a pill as it is to swallow I'm afraid that's where we are.

Meanwhile, what is life like for all the crews that can't go on tour?

as infection rates are on the rise I doubt that this event will take place

What a joke. Looks is like they have won.

People rarely end up on the IC with an 'ordinary' influenza. Now talk to those that work on the IC taking care of patients affected with Corona.. Just be patient and you will find out that people who don't learn from history have to repeat it.

Just imagine the ticket prices if that was a Rolling Stones concert!

Just imagine how big an area they would need for 50 000 grouped platformed spectators.

I would say it's not that much:

Assumed 4 people per platform, then 15,000 platforms = 60,000 spectators. 1 platform = 2x2m (43 sq.ft) plus 2m distance each, then should be for 123 x 123 platforms an area of 500m x 500m sufficient.

Desert Trip 2016 had an area of 78 acres (561m x 561m) and the attendance was 75,000 spectators each weekend. They could re-use the large Display:

If you were in the far back reaches of the GA section at Desert Trip, you might as well have been on the moon.
I remember going to one of the food courts back there in the early day prior to the shows starting, and trust me...not a place you would want to be to enjoy a concert.
There were even mini/big screens on the side about the half way mark to the distant stage for those back there as the main big screen itself looked like the size of postage stamp.
No sure how the sound was back there during the actual shows, but am assuming it was complete crap.
