  • Music Industry in Crisis: the Impact of a Novel Coronavirus on Touring Metal Bands, Promoters, and Venues Kyle J
    1 Music industry in crisis: The impact of a novel coronavirus on touring metal bands, promoters, and venues Kyle J. Messick https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0452-0922 Abstract In March of 2020 the world began to take widespread preventative measures against the spread of a novel coronavirus through travel restrictions, quarantines, and limitations on social gatherings. These restrictions resulted in the immediate closing of many businesses, including concerts venues, and also put an abrupt end to live music performances across Europe and the United States. This had immediate implications for touring bands, as bands earn most of their income touring, and many found themselves in a situation where they experienced substantial financial losses alongside negative affective ramifications. This article utilized evidence from qualitative interviews and public statements to draw inferences about the impact of COVID-19 on the music industry, with a particular focus on touring musicians and their respective managers, promoters, booking agencies, and record labels. Musicians reported negative affective and financial ramifications as a result of COVID-19, but they also reported overwhelming support from metal music fans that made the fallout from the pandemic less severe. Further inferences were drawn about how the closures of concert venues adversely impacted the communities dependent on them, as concerts serve a stimulating role for surrounding businesses. Keywords: coronavirus, pandemic, music industry, COVID-19, musicians, coronavirus, affect, financial loss The 2020 outbreak of a novel coronavirus The year 2020 had an immense and likely lasting negative impact on many industries, including the music industry, due to a contagious outbreak of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19.
