Loppen, music venue, survives corona by crowdfunding
Loppen started a fundraiser on gofundme and got about half its goal in a week: 45'000$.
Culture venues around the world is fighting for survival these times and i think we should all think about how "remote" we want our future to be.
Music venues, theaters etc are not gonna survive times where the idea of an audience is outlawed by social-distancing laws (for the benefit of all).
If you want to be able to go to concerts in a near future you need to step up and support your local venues. Music as live-art form has been challenged the last many years and getting on a stage as a "new name" is harder than ever. If we do not step up and support our venues, then we will face a future where only the biggest venues survive, and thereby the biggest bands. Watching concerts on a computerscreen is not gonna replace the live experience so please find your local venue and consider supporting it!
