2020 was a tough year for everyone. Some could get out of it easier than others, but everybody was affected to some level in their personal or professional lives. In world history, 2020 is going to be remembered as the year of the Covid-19 pandemic. Coronavirus has changed the world and industries thoroughly, and it is clear that we have to learn how to continue living with it as the virus will most probably stay with us for at least the several coming months.
The music industry, like any other sphere, was also affected by the pandemic. Many concerts and festivals were postponed, and listening to live music became a digital pleasure. However, as time passed by, the concert organizers started to concentrate on drive-ins.

Many governments all across the globe have laid out clear guidelines for all event organizers.
