Several artists have taken a financial hit due to the cancellations or postponement of tours and festivals in the wake of the global pandemic. SXSW, the annual film, tech and music festival held in Austin, Texas, has been cancelled and the 2020 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo was cut short due to concerns about the spread of coronavirus. Many festivals, including the Stagecoach Festival in California and Bonnaroo in Tennessee, have been postponed.
As the CDC recommends no events of more than 50 people for the next eight weeks, many artists have taken to entertaining fans from the comfort (and safety) of their homes. Keith Urban, Luke Combs, Jake Owen and more have performed online "quarantine" concerts for fans as they practice social distancing.
