Live Nation has established a new charitable fund to help support concert crews around the world, it was announced Tuesday. The Crew Nation fund will provide monetary relief for concert crew members impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, which has widely canceled concerts, festivals and other live events since it began spreading across the U.S.
and Europe earlier this month. "Crew members are the backbone of the live music industry, and we hope you’ll join us in supporting them through this temporary intermission until we can once again unite millions around the world through the power of live music," the company said in a statement.
