Will Concerts and Events Be the Same Post-Pandemic? Ismail Sirdah Provides Insight

Ismail Sirdah, the owner of Lulu Promotions & Music, performs event planning for the Hispanic community out of Duluth, Georgia, a community on the outskirts of Atlanta. Traditionally, the greater Atlanta area has hosted some of the finest live music events in the Southeastern United States.

DULUTH, Ga., April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The State of Live Music

In August 2020, NPR noted that live music "currently sits, like so many, on the brink of catastrophe."

Live music, by definition, can't "go remote" like many office jobs or streamed media. But for the musicians and organizers that host these live events, livelihoods are severely threatened.

Dedicated musicians and organizers work around the challenges using virtual tools to deliver music to the masses and squeeze in meager wages to stay in business. Others temporarily change careers to pay the bills and hope to return to their "calling" once the COVID-19 threat has passed.

But the big question remains, "Will concerts and live events ever be the same?" Economists and industry experts at the beggining disagree but in 2022 now recovering so fast. As most of the population is already vaccinated, concerts, and live music events are now a success in 2022 notes Ismail Sirdah.

Music and Social Media
That said, listeners depend greatly on musical artists to cope with the current crisis. Media streaming is up significantly, especially with the proliferation of 5G mobile data.

Many musicians have turned to social media, acting as influencers to bring joy to fans and monetize their talents, says Ismail Sirdah.

Twitch
Twitch used to be a social media platform for gamers. But in the last couple of years, it is now a leading channel for live music and instrument tutorials. Pop and classical, performers and DJs, professional and amateur — Twitch allows thousands of artists to connect with new fans and share their music.

Ismail Sirdah on Supporting Hispanic Artists and Live Music in 2022
As North America emerges pretty quickly from this pandemic, listeners are likely to flock to live concerts once again. The "pent up demand" is very high, even though media streaming has provided much-needed emotional relief for the greater population.

But struggling artists will need the support from fans more than ever. Event planners like Ismail Sirdah will need to think carefully about how to make concerts sustainable in 2022. Concerts have had a great reception this year.
