Concert Chatter

There was supposed to be a BIG concert on the 4th of September....in Dusseldorf, with a number of big name rock-stars (Sarah Conner among them)...but as of today, it's suspended (not cancelled).

What N-TV says is that it might still occur in the fall.....but it's more of a optimistic feeling than a reality situation. 

Parts of this story?  The city gave them permission for a maximum number of 13k seats (stadium could have easily held double that).  As of today, they'd only sold roughly half of the 13k seats.

While some of this had been agreed upon by the city itself.....the state government hadn't been approached or told of the details until all of this had come out.  The state authorities basically said that there was no legal basis upon which they'd allow this to occur.

In simple terms, you could spend a thousand man-hours working out the details with city health authorities, then find that the state health authorities wouldn't let you move one step forward on preparation.

I noticed via the Hessen news....a demonstration started up yesterday, with promoters and concert people.  This was held in Wiesbaden and centered on their path to bankruptcy because of the Covid-rules set into place.

There's a whole segment of entertainment society.....which probably won't exist in six months, if the ban rules continue.
