Loppen a music venue in freetown Christiania, Denmark, was facing closing down after 45 years as effect of corona.<p>Loppen started a fundraiser on gofundme and got about half its goal in a week: 45'000$.<p>Culture venues around the world is fighting for survival these times and i think we should all think about how "remote" we want our future to be.<p>Music venues, theaters etc are not gonna survive times where the idea of an audience is outlawed by social-distancing laws (for the benefit of all).<p>If you want to be able to go to concerts in a near future you need to step up and support your local venues. Music as live-art form has been challenged the last many years and getting on a stage as a "new name" is harder than ever. If we do not step up and support our venues, then we will face a future where only the biggest venues survive, and thereby the biggest bands. Watching concerts on a computerscreen is not gonna replace the live experience so please find your local venue and consider supporting it!<p>wiki list of music venues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_venues<p>Loppen's gofundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-loppen
