WME former Marc Geiger and one of the founders of Lollapalooza believes that there will not be any live shows before 2022.
Marc Geiger pointed out that there will be needed more time for people to safe and sure they can return into venues, enjoying their favorite acts.
He said:
“My guess is late ’21, more likely ’22… Look, the whole thing is a sh*t show. Whether it’s testing or it’s the government, it’s too infinite of a well to go down. But in my humble opinion, it’s going to be ’22.
He also added:
“And my instinct is that’s just going to take a while because as you can see, these super-spreader events – sports, shows, festivals, anything, the classroom – ain’t going to do too well while the virus is this present.
So my instinct is the world has a very long, forced timeout. A lot of people see the positives in it, whether it’s climate, whether it’s pollution, whether it’s traffic, whether it’s nature, whether it’s animals, whether it’s our own beings and taking a pause.
And I know it’s frustrating, maddening, and economically destructive. But… this is bigger than us, and if you study history things like this have happened in history and been super-disruptive to normal society. So here’s a biggie for our lifetime.”
