Live Music in Times of Covid 19 - What Can the Live Industry Expect from Broadcast Platforms and Vice Versa?
With the live industry knocked out by Corona last year, live streams and on-demand concerts came back into play, with of course, a special role for the platforms facilitating this. Who benefits the most from this? And what should the parties expect from each other? And if more is allowed in 2021, will things change in the relationship between those platforms and live industry? In this Dutch-language panel Atze de Vrieze of VPRO, will explore the topic with panelists Eric van Eerdenburg of Mojo/Lowlands, 013 Poppodium’s Joost van Abeelen, and Roosmarijn Reijmer of NPO/3FM.
