On June 27th, Garth Brooks is beaming one of his concerts to over 300 drive-in theaters all over the US.
While that is cool, wouldn’t it be even cooler if it was a live and in-person show? Well, that is what Live Nation is doing next month with nine shows between July 10th-12th. Brad Paisley will be playing all three cities, Nashville, Tennessee, Maryland Heights, Missouri, and Noblesville, Indiana. While the other nights in those cities will be shared by Nelly and El Monstero in St. Louis, Jon Pardi and Darius Rucker in Nashville, and Jon Pardi and Yacht Rock Revue in Indianopollis.
How are they going to do that during the coronavirus pandemic? Your seats are your car. For as low as $125 per automobile, you can bring three people with you to enjoy the show. Each vehicle is given three spaces that are 9′ wide. The first for the car, the second for tailgating, and a third to keep a distance from the next concert-goer. While you are not required to wear a mask when you are in your designated area, you will have to wear one when you go to the bathroom. Each restroom will have hand sanitizer, a sink, and someone cleaning areas that see high traffic.
You are able to bring your own food and alcohol. However, they will be selling hot food and non-alcoholic drinks just in case.
Paisley told the AP, “The idea that we’re outdoors is a great thing,” adding, “I just think it’s a fun way to watch a concert anyway. It’d be fun if there wasn’t a virus.”
Hopefully, it is success because I would totally go to a concert like this. Plus, it is cheaper than most shows. Would you go to a gig like this?
If you would, then you can get tickets this Friday on Live Nation.

After almost 40 years together, The Go-Go’s are planning to say bye bye this summer. The all girl group will play 18 cities in The US this August, and then they will go on a permanent Vacation.
The band released this statement about their farewell tour, “We feel so lucky and so grateful to have had the incredible support of our fans for so long. We can’t wait to get out on the road and give the people what they want: some loud, fast music and a great party!”
While I am not head over heels about this news, I will be a cool jerk and wish them the best. I just want to know if I can turn to you for a hug.

Annie Lennox posted a blog on her site that makes it seem like she will no longer be touring. The Walking on Broken Glass singer is breaking a lot of hearts by posting this:
I doubt that I’ll ever tour again because quite honestly…it just wears me out mentally and physically, and my back and left foot are rubbish.
In any case, I think I spent enough time waiting in cars, hotel rooms and dressing rooms for Godot to actually make a personal appearance.
In the future performers will tour by hologram on a regular basis…undoubtedly.
Meanwhile… Today I’m featuring an artist who has been “disappeared”..Ai Weiwei…love Annie
For some reason I doubt she will stop touring, she will just take a break from it. In a few years she will crave that feeling that only performing live gives her and she will back on the road just like Cher, Barbra Streisand and The Cure said and did before her.
