It looks there will barely be any concerts for the rest of this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Fans all over the world want to see and hear live music in person, and coming up with ways to do it is taking a lot of imagination.
Garth Brooks recorded a concert that played in drive-ins around the country. While Brad Paisley and friends played lived shows at a few drive-ins where concert goers each got three parking spaces. Then there are serial killers Great White who played a non-masking wearing concert with no social distancing in one of the Dakotas.
Well, Ukraine topped them all. Ukrainian band O.Torvald played a concert in Kyiv near a hotel, and their fans (four per room) watched them play from the balconies. Not only that, but the fans also got to choose which songs they played. A fun night for all because they also stayed in the rooms all night.
I can see this happening in several cities in the US like Miami, Virginia Beach, and New Bern, North Carolina, where the band can play the beach, and the audience can watch from hotel rooms. They can also do this in Atlantic City or Niagra Falls. The list could go on and on if I didn’t only visit cities along the East Coast.
Would you go to a concert this way? I totally would!
