    Easier to ramp up shows for ticket sales than to dial them back. No one knows what this summer or fall will allow yet. Safe bets are obvious of course of what will happen but nothing is set in stone yet. 
    Well, that’s true in a sense that it is easier than dialing them back. Because dialing them back is basically impossible. Of course, that’s why any show sold at full capacity prior to the pandemic is so unlikely to occur this year. 

    And we do know what the summer will allow. As we are seeing today, venues are planning socially distanced events with protocols for the summer. That’s because concerts need planning and the conditions now in April dictate what is possible coming up. 

    i think you are right that is what will happen this summer for shows if we are lucky but I also see a small chance where seats are added to these shows if restrictions become lighter than what was expected. I hope they can add the seats. 

    And of course there is a scenario that these shows can not happen at all even with the modifications. I would like to think that is not an option though!

    April 6th anyone that is 16 or older can get a vaccine in NY. There is no reason by fall that these shows can not happen imo if the vaccines do what they are supposed to do and enough people get them.

    Maybe. Promising news today out of NY. Thing is they still need to see the numbers, and with all the logistics - again - I don't think they can go beyond like mid-May to make a definitive decision. 

    Other part of this is assuming that everyone is coming from NY & NJ. Every state is different and your residence isn't a requirement to attend.

    Very good news today though.

    Seems like good news and a step in the right direction:
    I don't know about that re: this event - this guy specifies social distancing and limited capacity. I don't see how either can be achieved for a music festival on the beach.
    Yes... that’s why I said “a step in the right direction”.  😬
    The Fallon concert is part of a series the Count Basie Theater is doing on the Shore in Eatontown. It runs through August 26th and all the concerts are under the same strict protocols. The final show on the 26th is a Band tribute act. So while it is absolutely a step in the right direction, the fact that it is still going to be under strict protocols in late August for a tribute act, unfortunately actually points to that there is almost no chance 30,000 people will be on the beach in Asbury Park for a festival two weeks later. 

    I know what the “Fallon concert” is... I posted it. Lol.  So what did I say that was untrue?  I said it was a step in the right direction.

    As of now there's five large scale festivals scheduled to take place in September across the US, not including Sea.Hear.Now. One would assume the music industry is preparing for full scale festivals this fall, considering all the recent announcements. GovBall, FireFly, Pilgrimage, Lost Lands, Del Fest amongst those and rumors of Bonnaroo as well happening.

    I just spent the weekend with thousands of people at a soccer tournament for one of my daughters in Berkeley Twp.   It was nice to do something quasi normal again.

    Oh, it is definite some states are going to allow events before others. That’s an issue in knowing how to proceed with tours. 

    The question is not what Tennessee will allow, it’s what NJ will allow in September. Obviously Coachella gave up on 2021. Perhaps in a state different from CA, they wouldn’t have yet.

    In 3 weeks 90% of the US adult population will be eligible to be vaccinated. Each state will have different roll outs time periods that will full fill all of the vaccination requests but as of right now the US is moving at lightning speed vaccinating everyone it looks like.

    Of course, the reason is that anyone putting on a concert the size of Sea Hear Now can’t wait until mid-September to decide. There is a decision date well in advance of the actual concert dates where the decision will have to be made. So it could very well be that by September things are totally fine, let’s hope but the decision as to whether to proceed will be made well in advance of then. That’s what makes it so difficult, especially with a show sold with full capacity.

    At this point I am not sure if this is a shot at me or in agreement. Hard to tell with people so divided but I get it either way. I am just itching to see shows pretty damn bad. I have followed the healthcare recommendations for over a year now and will continue doing so. Just do not see us doing any better than this and if people that want to be protected have been and with a vaccine that is as good as they are I am ready to see live shows again without hesitation.

    Sorry. 100% without a doubt in support of you and entirely ready to move on. It is complete common sense that dates should be announced for fall starting now. There is no reason for anyone to cower in fear any longer unless they wish to for their own reasons. Vaccination across the nation!

    No one here is saying corners should be cut or safety should be compromised.  Not sure why  posting vaguely positive news triggers some people  🤷🏻‍♂️

    Absolutely will make one of them depending on the dates. If Hyde Park is a double nighter on the weekend of Sep 3-5th and its a likely go I am booking that first. The other two do not work for me work wise but if SHN is the first show I will not miss it. Hope you get at least that festival this year man!
