"Crew members are the backbone of the live music industry." Live Nation has set up a new charitable fund to help support concert crews who have found themselves out of work due to the coronavirus epidemic.
The Crew Nation fund was established on Tuesday (March 31) and will provide financial support for affected crew workers, after the pandemic sparked the widespread cancellation of festivals and concerts across the globe. “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,” Live Nation said in a statement.
