Spring and summer regularly see a huge uptick in tours; that's when festival shows return too. But the emergence of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 might change everything this year.

Again, like I commented on an earlier article, at the time that I am writing this comment, the Coronavirus has already caused many concerts and festivals to be postponed. Some of the bigger ones include Stagecoach and Coachella in California, and all of Live Nation's current tours. While this obviously means the loss go a lot of money for many producing agencies, it also means of lot of lost jobs. From the union crews at each location, to the road crews, and event the janitors at venues across the United States and the world, many people will be, at least temporarily, out of a job. There has been countless articles encouraging people to begin seeking unemployment insurance, however, this isn't a solid solution. The hope is that this will blow over as soon as possible and we will be back to business as usual. Until then, it may be a very slow road for many.
