In 2020, we pivoted. In 2021, we rescheduled. In 2022, our resilience will guide us. Even as some events are canceling early January performances because of the surging Omicron variant, our live event industry has learned to keep rolling with the restrictions by creating a new custom playbook through the pandemic. We are inventive with new solutions to keep working safely. As examples: Eric Church’s tour employs Covid-sniffing dogs to quickly give a once-over to the band and crew, while Foo Fighters are switching out an arena on the itinerary whose safety protocols don’t meet the band’s standards.
