Genre of the year, just looking for a name: LUKE COMBS, "SIX FEET APART." LAUREN JAUREGUI, "50FT." KESHA, "HOME ALONE." This EP from Nigerian pop singer TENI. Isolationcore? Distancia? Quarantunes? I'm sure someone out there can do better. Send me suggestions... Fans who've been clamoring for refunds for canceled, postponed or rescheduled concerts are finally getting some relief from AEG, which says it will open a 30-day window starting May 1 in which ticketholders can ask for a refund for any such shows. TICKETMASTER, whose clumsy response to mass concert cancellations has made it the target of public anger and has raised the eyebrows of New York officials, said Thursday it will "continue offering an opportunity for refunds on all of its rescheduled shows as new dates are set. We anticipate those windows will begin to open up on an event by event basis in the next few weeks.” Which is still not quite as clean an answer as fans who've invested hundreds or thousands of dollars in tickets for concerts upended by the pandemic are looking for. What they want is their money back, or at least the option to ask for it. It isn't Ticketmaster's or AEG's or STUBHUB's or any other seller's fault that the live event business has all but ceased to function. And the mass cancellations and postponements—the NEW YORK TIMES says 30,000 events and as much as $1 billion worth of tickets have been affected so far—have created an economic catastrophe for everyone involved. But it isn't the fans' fault either, and if the giant promoters and ticket companies don't look out for their customers first, those customers are going to remember long after the industry rights itself. Plus, it's the right thing to do... Meanwhile, the TROUBADOUR is Los Angeles is sending me announcements of new shows in August and September, which seems aspirational at best, and the fantastic promoter JAZZ IS DEAD is informing me of June bookings, which seems all but impossible. But at this point I have all the information I need, and if I want to buy a few tickets to put money in the hands of clubs and artists in these precarious times, that's a choice I can make. SHABAKA & THE ANCESTORS on June 15? Why not?... Good citizens: SHIFT CHANGE is a MEDIUM project started by a group of music journalists to tell the stories of frontline workers in the fight against Covid-19.
