. They've asked all their artists currently abroad to come home. The companies released a joint statement with the country's largest booking agencies, including Creative Artists Agency , William Morris Endeavor , Paradigm, and United Talent Agency .
Live Nation tours affected include Billie Eilish, Cher, Kiss, Zac Brown Band, Jason Aldean, Tool, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Chris Stapleton, Morrissey, Thundercat and Third Eye Blind. The announcement comes after Governor Andrew Cuomo officially banned gatherings larger than 500 people today in New York. Plenty of venues are taking matters into their own hands. Berlin's Berghain has canceled events until April 20, while San Francisco's Chase Center has cleared their schedule till March 21. Washington D.C.'s music scene is nearly entirely closed down: the Anthem, U Street Music Hall, 9:30 Club and Lincoln Theatre have suspended programming till April.
In a post-Spotify world, when nearly all artists pay their bills by touring, the coronavirus scare is taking a serious hit on indie artists. While big budget artists will be able to weather the storm, that's not necessarily the case for smaller fish, so now is a good time to pick up your fave's latest album or merch. That's right. Purchase an album. Bikini Kill, Jay Som, Blood Orange and Pussy Riot have all called off dates as well.
Glad LiveNation and AEGworldwide are taking this seriously. Might be devastating short term, but it’s the absolute best thing to do.
Bailout like fucking Wall St.
corona virus go home you're excused please leave everyone alone
