2020 Fall North American rumour thread

RatherStarved · April 2020

It all depends when there’s a treatment, a vaccine, or herd immunity.

ComeToTX · April 2020

Exactly. Speculation without any of those is pointless.

NYC has the worst outbreak in the country. They've cancelled concerts, etc. through June. - https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/20/new-york-city-cancels-summer-festivals-concerts-and-parades-through-june.html
We will know within the next 2-3 months if there will be any shows in 2020

Life is Beautiful festival, Sept 18-20, has been canceled

This is the first fall festival canceled as far as I am aware of and puts some bad writing on the wall for any 2020 shows

Sanitize the arena's. Have everyone wear a mask. And make hand sanitizer available. Let the show begin!

It kills me to say it but I think large indoor events will be the last thing we get back

This is becoming increasingly evident. Hopefully there will be a treatment breakthrough before too long.

Just got an email that the following September Louisville, KY festivals have been cancelled:
Hometown Rising
Louder Than Life
Bourbon & Beyond

All 3 are hopeful to return in 2021.

Paul McCartney called into Stern last week, and he brought up a chilling point. There are some artists who we may never see play a live show again, due to this virus changing the ways shows are put on, and the delays to their current tours. In addition, there are bands who cannot get that big break right now, and their chance at stardom may be gone.

Do you guys think smaller, theatre venue shows will be allowed in the later part of the year? with certain measures, of course. Obviously this won't work with PJ, but just curious.

I'm not sure how. Similar to seats in arena, all the seats in a theatre are right next to each other. The only real difference being there might only be 1000 to 3000 people for it to spread instead of 18000 at an arena.

If you have to social distance they would have to space seats out by 1 or 2 empty ones between every person.

The only way I see them happening is if our goal changes. From flattening the curve to herd immunity. It's not good for keep the curve flat, it's not so bad for herd immunity,

Our best case scenario here is that the virus was among us much longer than we had hoped, and most people werent symptomatic, and that the antibodies provide some immunity, and with that, the herd immunity. That is a LOT of iffs, and it really is the best case scenario.

The next best case is that we get a vaccine (remember, a lot of viruses that have been around for a long time still dont have vaccines), and that we buy enough time to get an effective treatment, so that critical cases go down to almost nothing.

Oh, i meant to say....hoping for Fall concerts is a pipe dream. If it happens, great, wonderful. But dont count on it. We need to hit 35 other milestones before we get to concerts.

Or sell 10k seats in a NFL stadium, leaving 5 of every 6 seats empty, but why bother. We need the medical community to come up with a treatment. For health first. But also for fun things like shows. They’re working on it.

Right, i mean, why risk it, why bother if this is what is going on at the time.

I would pay $$$ for a live studio event though. I'm sure they could socially distance. And raise money for charity. But we are still a bit away from this too.

What's the difference between a 2000 seat theater and a large office building with thousands going thru the elevators or a large school with hundreds walking the halls?

It seems once they open the necessities like work and school they might as let us have shows.

And then people sit next to their friends and family anyway.

Let’s work on life getting back (and that will be slow methodically chunks) before we can even talk about concerts. But I do passionately miss them. Man I know for one I will appreciate things more after this. We gotta get some good out of this. ❤️

That’s not happening anytime soon either.
