Live Music Is Back

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s safe to say that COVID-19 damaged the live music scene as we navigated a year of no in-person concerts, clubs, or music festivals. Live music became a thing of the past for an entire year, and many of us forgot the feeling of being in a room surrounded by a hundred strangers, feeling the vibrations of the music in your heartbeat, holding your barely charged phone in the air, and scream-singing the lyrics to your favorite song. There’s a sense of community brought about from attending concerts, and after an entire year of barely any social interaction, people are longing for that sense of community back in their lives.

There’s no better way to celebrate the ending of a global pandemic than packing twenty of your favorite artists into one weekend, and with artists practically itching to get back into live music, the festival schedule is sure to be packed. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After fifteen months of a festival-less existence, Lollapalooza is ushering in the comeback of live music.
