Jaysus it's exactly like Pixar's Mater's Tall Tales episode "Heavy Metal Mater" (Cars spin-off).

Have you seen it? Very alike to be fair. Skip to the latter section of this:

Dolans are running 2 of the "drive-in" concerts on the site of the docklands gigs that were due to happen. Gavin james and hermitage green. very non metal but it is definitely something that can be pulled off here. Not something we'll be doing with metal but it is happening in Ireland!

What amazes me is that the way they do these is by having everyone tune in on their car radios so there won't be a big PA there as such! 

We ran a poll there asking what peoples thoughts would be on running shows in August. The amount of morons who can't wrap their head around the fact that social distancing is going to be happening is amazing. No- there won't be moshing allowed, if we're even allowed to run shows at all.

Also- forget bands from the US for a while. and Brazil. They will flat out not be able to get here.

The Music Venue Trust here in the UK wrote an open letter to the Government:

I think this was partly based on a survey they had asked people to fill in about their views on venues reopening and gig goers were pessimistic about the wanting to go to a (real, packed in, small venue) gig any time soon.

The UK is going to be hit extra hard after this too when Brexit and their new VISA rules come in.

Looks like Vader and Marduk are playing Poland next month.Interesting to see how that one pans out and if other bands will follow.

Revel In Flesh played in Munich the other night, to a restricted, seated (at tables) crowd. Not sure how feasible that approach is in the long run but they seemed happy about it.

Honestly it wouldn't interest me going to watch any metal band in that setting!.

Live gigs are about the band feeding off energy of a packed crowd.Imagine sitting around tables socially distanced at something like Blood incantation in Dolans?.

[Thorn]

It'd do me for now. Actually  it's probably the way forward for the creaky old bones at this stage

[Airneanach]

Depends on the kind of gig, for me. Hardcore would look a little daft but black and doom ought to be grand for the local bands. Down here in Cork 90% of the crowds just stand still anyway with their arms folded for most of that stuff anyway, like. The issue is space, then, for most venues. But other than that, theoretically I'd bite the hand off you now to get to sit at some tables with some like minded folks, sipping on a drink bopping my head to some spooky music.

[Giggles]

Spooky music

The way things are going this thread should be called "No gigs til 2022"

[Kunt 4 Life]

Yeah Even things down for next year are still getting me wondering. Ramnestien in June, while still ages away....you just don't know.
Got to keep the faith

[Blizzard Beast]

Could be the end for some bands that rely on gigs and dont work if they cant work something out and get playing properly again.

Vreid played Oslo 2 weeks ago. Looks strange though, not sure about sitting at a table in front of the stage?? Nice to be able to crack open a few bottles though just the same. Surely not satisfying for a band to perform like this though? A few photos here:

It will be interesting to see the report into the experiments in Germany last week where they tried different scenarios for 3 gigs by some singer songwriter.
