Industry Expert: Live Shows May Be Pushed To 2022

Published: Thursday 16th Jul 2020 by David

Live concerts may not see the light day of until 2022.

One industry insider’s prediction below…

Marc Geiger, one of the forces behind Lollapalooza, revealed that he believes live music concerts will not return until 2022 as is it to unsafe to relaunch them during the current global health crisis.

He made the prediction during a podcast conversation fronted by Bob Lefsetz and did so as COVID-19 cases rise to dangerously high levels all over the world.

If accurate, performers like Beyonce, Adele and Nicki Minaj (all of who are expected to drop new records within the next year) will be unable to take their music on the road for the first time in the careers…much to the dismay of an industry which pockets millions from their sizeable tour earnings.

 

Listen here.

It’s economically devastating.

 

 

 

 

Fortunately, all isn’t lost.

For, the K-Pop force BTS recently launched a lucrative virtual concert for paying fans following the outbreak of the virus.

The pay-per-view show generated $20 million in one evening.

    The irony is that Cardi is too scared to announce a tour because she doesn’t have enough fans to fill stadiums or arenas in 100 cities. That’s why she stays doing festival or club appearances. Much easier to sell out a one off show than having to sell one hundred at once. Leave that to the real stars. You know, the ones who can slay without spotify playlists .

      You can’t even fill your cupboards, fool. Sit it down, sir.

        The fact remains that Cardi didn’t even bother to tour because her label knew it wouldn’t sell. Touring is the fastest way to make money yet home girl refuses to put her name on anything bigger than a radio show concert or club appearance. Tings that make you go hmm.

      Cardi didn’t Tour because she had a new born child, can’t expect a Homesexual man to understand what it’s like to give birth so everything is about music for you, Doung one off shows meant she could go back to her new born daughter!

    Camila cancelling her tour was smart.

    She hasnt finished filming Cinderella and with lots of engagement and uncertainty it’s best u cancel the tour

    And before u say the tour wasnt selling, Camila literally sold out 89 percent of her dates. 💅💅💅

      😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

      Whatever will help you sleep at night.

      I guess Camicky is the only smart one in the industry. Lying about numbers is pathetic.

      🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

        Everybody has cancelled their tour

        Those who didnt cancel are not occupied and dont have other engagements.

        Camila is occupied, she has a Cinderella movie she hasnt done filming in the uk.
        She also has the Cinderella soundtrack she hasnt recorded.

        Now, when last did normani see the inside of the billboard hot 100? *crickets*

    Kierra Sheard is doing a virtual tour only available to paying fans with a full production of a live band, dancers, LED screens, lights. Fantasia did an amazing concert with a live band, back up singers, lights. Look at the performances from the BET Awards (the good ones). Its literally not that hard to still perform during this time. Some artists are out here still filming whole music videos. These excuses are being blown out proportions.
