I’d pay max $5 to go to a virtual concert cause that’s what it costs to rent an HBO concert film.
I’m not into this idea at all as a permanent thing if this is where they plan on going, but it seems like a plausible fix for the time being.

10000% no. 

The whole point is seeing the person in person, the energy, etc. They’re really trying it.

This. As if big record labels need money.

No but live touring does. It could keep setup crew, lighting, dancers, and the venues itself employed before its allowed to do actual touring.

This article mentioned nothing about $ and they’re talking about selling the rights to streaming services that many of us already own/subscribe to. The companies/artists/labels aren’t dumb / they won’t overchange for this.

Good point. But a live show without audience is kind of weird. Why not release a visual album?

It’s a mutually beneficial relationship. The same way a tour would further promote an album - this concept of a virtual concert would do the same thing - and maybe to an increased extent since venues only hold a limited amount of people. Also - many artists didn’t plan for visual albums , as recording and producing albums that the supporting tours were canceled for were finished already months ago, I.e in the case of Gaga.

So you really expect live touring to just shut down until 2021? Not gunna happen. And as the article says - there are several artists with plans to announce shows like this in the coming week. 

Im sorry were did i say that

I didn’t read it all the way through 

I figured they would charge $70 like a boxing match and I can’t justify paying that in the slightest.

You’re acting like the live event touring business can be put on hold and withstand the immense economic downfall that could happen - this is a solution to prevent this. And variety gathered a myriad of sources and interviews so it’s not just them.

I also disagree with a price that high. But like I said I don’t think they’ll do that.

Excuse you im not acting like that i just felt like this sounded a little apocalyptic thats also i love the exspirience of being at a concert its just not the same when your watching at home

By the end of next year people will have forgotten all about this tbh when we’re out of it and go back to sold out concerts, talking trash to retail workers, complaining about having to wait for a doctors appointment and polluting the planet so there’s no point in them changing live concert formats just delay the big acts to next summer and the lesser ones to 2022
