DANIEL DEFONCE (BOOKING AGENT): "My opinion on when touring will start back up? Early 2021."

DANIEL DEFONCE, extreme metal booking agent and promoters for DEVASTATION ON THE NATION has made statements via a series of tweets (TWITTER) on the state of the touring industry versus CORONA VIRUS (CODVID19).












FROM DANIEL DEFONCE:

Too many people are being optimistic about touring in my opinion. This is very hard for me to even say. My life revolves around bands going on tour.

My opinion on when touring will start back up? Early 2021. Even if tours happen later this year...(thread)

If tours happen later this year, the turnouts will be cut in half, capacity of venues will be cut in half or even lower, if they are still in business. People will still be scared to go out even if social distancing is lifted.

As each day goes by, it gets scarier and scarier how serious this virus is getting. My girlfriend works at a hospital. I hear about this stuff everyday she comes home from work. About all the changes they’re making, how she may have to hop between different hospitals.

As everyday goes by, I am mentally preparing myself to have to start looking for a new job outside of the music industry. It’s just what I will need to do and I am preparing myself for that.
