Although concerts are slowly making a crawl back, they certainly aren’t like anything we’re used to experiencing. Take a look at how America’s first socially distanced concert went.
If you were keen to hop right back into the mosh pit for a rough and tumble night once concerts revved back up, think again, as socially distance concerts are beginning to occur, and they’re nothing like we’ve ever known.
There’s been a lot of suggestions about how we could go about starting up concerts, lately. While both Denmark and now Sydney have started up drive-in concerts, others have suggested we could mosh together again in kooky space suits.
Although all of these ideas sound quite futuristic, and somewhat cool, have a look at what an actual social distanced concert looked like, and let’s just reminisce on the good ol’ days of live music, because it looks a bit apocalyptic as we’ve seen from Twitter user sin Хентай’s photos.
The first socially distant concert took place in Arkansas in the U.S. this week, and it looks a bit drab in comparison to what we’re used to. Led by country musicians Bishop Gun and Travis McCready, the musicians played to a sparse audience of face-mask wearing fans.
Although the typical capacity of the venue is 1,000, only 200 were allowed in, and all punters had to remain six feet apart either cordoned off by caution tape, or seated in specific areas of the theatre.

For additional measures, concertgoers were required to have their temperatures recorded when entering the venue, and had to wear face masks at all times.
Even the bathrooms were limited in terms of how many could enter, with a cap being set at ten people at once, in addition to having caution tape outlining how to remain socially distanced at the urinals.
Regardless of how you look on it, although we’re keen for live music to get its boots on again, it may be best to just wait until everything is good and done with, because attending a concert that looks like this seems a bit drab.
