COVID-19 presented challenges for event organizers all over the world, but the music sector was one of the most pivotal. Artists switched to live streaming concerts and put indefinitely on hold events. Event organizers tested their creativity and came up with innovative virtual concerts that could be enjoyed from a distance in 2021.
Our platform’s creators are responsible for some of our favourite creative shifts. Retired teacher Vito Rinaldo created TOF productions in 2020. This entirely virtual music venue, called “The Tree”, raised $13,000 for charities and artists in its first four months of operation. The Magic Beans, a Denver-based band, moved their annual Beanstalk Music and Mountains Festival into a drive-in theater in 2020 and to a campsite in 2021. Unable to have large gatherings indoors, Joe Lapan retrofitted the event space of his hybrid bar/restaurant/record store, Songbyrd Music House, so he could livestream his artists.
It appears that things will return to normal in 2022, which is a good thing. The number of COVID cases is declining and vaccination rates are increasing. In-person events are becoming more common as mandates across the country have been lifted. Many creators have discovered that hosting online events can be very rewarding. We have compiled a list of 10 ways that creators are updating their virtual concerts in order to keep them running into 2022.
