In this pandemic if anything has made us happy it has been music. It is a savior for helping us with our feelings. But are concerts coming back any times soon? Yes! But not as we know it. There are numerous different ways of going about it.
The first obvious way is virtual experiences. This has been done many times in 2020 and I'm sure it will carry on like that. Rapper Travis Scott made a total of $20m in a single nine-minute showing virtually last April compare that to his astro world tour in 2018-2019 that lasted for 9 months he made $53m. So is this better and quicker money for artists? The virtual gigs financially are working a dream for the big artists as the tickets must be a lot cheaper but the crowed can be as big as possible, so the artists are making the same or more money. But for small artists they’re making less as the tickets must be sold for less but only the people that know them buy the tickets.
In summer 2020 Newcastle Gosforth park held a series of successful socially distances gigs. Declining the number of tickets being sold and giving everyone their own gated area away from others. Not only has this been successful In Newcastle but in many other parts of the world. By doing this there are also waiters and waitresses taking orders for food and drinks from different stalls. Maybe more chilled people like this better? Maybe this will be a new thing with or without the pandemic.
Another way concerts could be brought back is by rapid turnaround testing. Is this a smart idea or bad idea? Some people will be taking the precaution of getting a test seriously, but some others may sneak in or get a fake test. This way of doing concerts hasn’t been tested yet but is has been considered for testing In some parts of the world. If this was to happen it has also been suggested to have as well as a test a temperature check and for light foggy mists of disinfectant sprayed over crowds at random points of the concert.
The last and newest way that has been tried and tested is zorb balls. This has been tested in Oklahoma where each person had their own zorb ball as well as the band. Inside each bubble was a speaker which helped stop the sound from being muffled. And if the person inside the bubble was too hot there were workers with masks on and a leaf blower to blow air inside. In each bubble they also got a battery fan, water bottle and a sign that on one side said ‘i gotta pee’ and on the other side said ‘it's hot in here’ so they could leave the bubble safely with a worker or to get cooled down. The comments from people that were there vary from ‘hot claustrophobic mess’ to ‘it's safer than going to the grocery store. So, will this be considered or is it too much hassle?
