A Glimmer of Hope That We Will Be Drinking Overpriced Ciders And Dancing In The Mud in 2021\n <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The President of Live Nation<\/a>, the world’s leading live entertainment company, has said that he feels \u201cvery good\u201d<\/i> about the prospect of live music returning next summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Berchtold said that he can see \u201cwith much greater clarity\u201d<\/i> what the path to the return to live music looks like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe start to see with much greater clarity what the path to return to live is, and certainly a lot of confidence about that return to live,\u201d<\/i> Berchtold explained in a CNBC interview (watch here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added \u201cIn the key U.S.\/Western European markets, it continues to be our expectation that by next summer, we\u2019re back with our major outdoor shows \u2014 our amphitheaters here in the U.S., festivals globally. We\u2019ll be able to do those shows.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His comments echo those of Live Nation<\/a> CEO Michael Rapino, who in a memo to staff said: “We remain confident that fans will return to live events when it is safe to do so.\u201d<\/i> He continues \u201cOur expectations for a robust outdoor summer season in 2021 are also reinforced by the two-thirds of fans keeping their tickets for canceled festivals so they can go to next year\u2019s show, along with strong early ticket sales for festivals in the UK next summer.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Live Nation<\/a> seems positive on the return other key music figures are less hopeful. Back In July Lollapalooza co-founder Marc Geiger said he didn\u2019t think gigs and festivals would return until 2022<\/a>. However, the distribution of the Pfizer vaccine<\/a> has led Health Secretary Matt Hancock to say: \u201cWe\u2019re going to have a summer next year that everybody can enjoy,\u201d <\/i>continuing<\/span>, \u201cBetween now and then we\u2019ve got to hold our resolve. We passed the tiering arrangements through the Commons with a big majority last night. Let\u2019s all respect the restrictions we have to live our lives in for now.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this festivals are gearing up to have mass testing arrangements, something that both Glastonbury<\/a> and R&L<\/a> have said to be rolling out for the upcoming festival season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all it seems that we may be looking at the light at the end of the tunnel, get ready folks live music is certainly making a comeback. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
