Looks like the only concerts any of us are going to see this summer will be live streamed. Tours are being cancelled left and right. And I can't really blame them. Even if we do start to lift some of the lockdown restrictions, in the early phases of the reopen plans we will still be required to maintain the social distancing rules.
Think about this, if we will be required to maintain six foot separations among concert goers this will limit seating to pretty much every three rows and every third seat within those rows. So 1/3 of the seats in 1/3 of the rows means that 8/9th of the seats would need to be empty. What artists would go out on tour know that the best they could do was sell 11% of the seats in the house.
It sucks to miss out on all of those shows, but I guess it is still better than jump starting the virus and wasting all of the efforts that have been made so far to contain this thing.
