Written by Jon Stickler
It's been another difficult year for music, but the return of live gigs in 2021 brought a wave of celebration for artists and fans. It meant we could reconnect with the artists we love, let off some much-needed steam after seemingly endless months of lockdown, and support the venues who were left to struggle by the COVID-19 pandemic.
After shutting down, opening up, and more than enough headaches over rescheduling, the industry is ready to bounce back with some big, tasty tours over the next 12 months. See you in 2022!
