Loppen, music venue, survives corona by crowdfunding

1 pointsby supernihilalmost 5 years ago
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&#x27;000$.<p>Culture venues around the world is fighting for survival these times and i think we should all think about how &quot;remote&quot; 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 &quot;new name&quot; 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:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_music_venues<p>Loppen&#x27;s gofundme: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gofundme.com&#x2F;f&#x2F;support-loppen
