The concert/promoter crowd of Germany have gone to a new format....to get shows up and approved from the various authorities.
So the idea is....get a large open area, with a temp-stage in front. The normal chairs? Gone. What they bring in are beach chairs (the type you'd see up in the North Sea area). A two-seater, with a head covering.
Yes, it does not really allow for full potential like before, but it lessens the infection rate threat.
The problem with this....people can stand up and walk over to the concession....in the middle of the music or comic routine.
So over this past weekend....at a comedy show with Helge Schneider.....he reached a point where he just said 'that's it'. He walked off the stage....the beach cabana situation doesn't work for him and his act.
The odds that others will suggest the same thing? I'd go and suggest maybe a third of bands, singers, and comedians will offer criticism over the beach chair deal.
The possibility in 2022 that we go back to normal.....stuffing 4,000 people into a 4,000 seat arena? It's probably less than a one-percent chance.
