    Billboard:

    So Adelman and Worek, the operations director, spent the past month crowd-sourcing more than 400 tour promoters, managers, Ticketmaster employees, caterers and Irish-fair organizers and released a 29-page guide on Monday. Given contradictory, confusing and evolving state stay-at-home restrictions — bars in Kansas are allowed to open as of May 18 at half capacity, while live concerts resume in Branson, Missouri, this coming Friday — organizers of the non-profit concert-business group decided to add expertise and clarity.

    Socially distancing GA admittance to most venues sounds like an impossible task in the short term.

    I’ve heard of air guitar and air drumming but 2020 will give us air moshing.


    Stay safe everyone

    Yes as long as you stay 6 feet away from other fans. It will hurt

    Live concerts to resume in Branson - just FYI for everyone hoping to catch a Tuesday matinee performance of The Crawford Family Presents: The Hits of the 60s!

    I applaud the efforts being made to be safe but, honestly, all these restrictions kind of defeat the purpose of going to live shows for many of us. I’m also not sure how limited attendance can make this fiscally feasible but if people are willing to follow the guidelines, could be a start

    Best case scenario I can think of is keeping peopled boxed in using designated spaces, like the Vegas homeless encampments.

    But how do you move past someone to use the bathroom? If you leave, do you get back in?

    It absolutely crushes me, but I think live music (and live events requiring congregation in general) are DOA until a vaccine is distributed worldwide.
