COVID-19 has dealt catastrophic blows to the live industry, and especially the live electronic events realm, as shows and festivals are primary economic and cultural drivers of the scene.
But a group of New York event promoters are going against all odds for an open-air music retreat taking place this weekend. While major music festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits have cancelled their planned and postponed 2020 events, Brooklyn-based production company BangOn!
has maintained two upcoming shows on their events calendar. The first is In My Elements, a three-day open-air retreat taking place at an “undisclosed lakefront summer camp” in Northeastern Pennsylvania starting tomorrow (July 10).
