. The latter has just wrapped a tour during which she live-streamed a concert from the 12,000-person capacity Spark Arena. “That’ll be one of the only live streams [that’s not] someone alone in their living room,” Campbell Smith, who co-manages Benee, said a few days before the event. “You can see, in New Zealand, thousands of people jammed together at a concert, legitimately.”
“Playing in the USA especially is good for our band,” Pearce says. “The good people of the USA like to buy T-shirts!” Financially, says Stokes, “It’s been a huge hit.” Adds Pearce, quietly, “I wouldn’t like to guess what the number is.”Stokes estimates that in 2018, touring behind their debut album “Future Me Hates Me,” the Beths lost money. In 2019, they managed to break even. “And this year was looking good,” she says. “Like we might make a little bit of money. Which would have been nice.
When the second lockdown was announced, the Beths were weeks away from starting their tour. They pushed the whole thing back to early October, hoping the situation would improve. Metcalf, the band’s tour manager, says that “there is no certainty. Any show or tour can be canceled at any time. We had to minimize liability and maximize agility.” On Sept. 21, the lockdown was largely lifted.
BradleyWhitford Yes. let’s be reminded of that there is a Shangri-la somewhere on Earth that is the antithesis of what we are living. Thanks for that.
Hope their borders are closed,I know its an island. But don't let anyone in for awhile.
gtconway3d George Conway is retweeting the craziest things. One minute he loves our president next minute he hates his wife Kellyanne Conway. He is in a hospital bed looking and acting like the guy Gollum from lords of the ring.
gtconway3d True Story - this week in Whanganui ☺️
gtconway3d Way to late for America !! To many selfish people !
gtconway3d Do jealous. We have tickets to 3 BTS stadium concerts that were postponed in the US. WHEN?
gtconway3d When women lead, amazing results shall follow.
There was a better smarter scientific way but we had the stupidest person in the history of the world in charge here in America. fucktrump VOTE
gtconway3d It amazes me to see articles like this. All we did was listen to the science and take the logical practical steps to get this virus under control. We aren't special in New Zealand, we just aren't stupid bloody science denying morons.
gtconway3d Must be nice to have an awesome leader
gtconway3d Woman leader👍
Now do Taiwan, who had a massive 10K+ people concert almost a month ago
gtconway3d My last live music was March 8. It was also the last concert my wife got to attend. (Boston Clavichord Society. mostly Bach - if I had to pick a last concert, it wouldn't be the worst choice)
That’s because they have a competent leader & the citizens weren’t whiny cry babies about wearing masks & being locked down. It will be quite awhile before we get to have concerts again.
If you want to treat hunter Biden leaks like a foreign intelligence operation. Then we should treat the washing post like the fake news left-wing bias media organization that it is....
gtconway3d POTUS could’ve and should’ve

gtconway3d Trump canceled America. Time to cancel HIM.
In an island country where the total population is just under 5 million compared to 325 million. In New Zealand’s . If the population of New Zealand was as big as the USA it would be much harder to control .
drfarmertx Instead of fluff pieces about another country's success, how about seriously holding this Republican administration accountable for their double failure: They can't control COVID and they WON'T support people.
Cause sheep don’t transmit Covid
Oh come on - New Zealand is an island with 3.6 million people and low pop density. You cannot compare countries. Europe, Middle East, India, and South America are also bad and all have totally different demographies. Achieving low/no Covid in New Zealand should be easy...!
Pity all the good Kiwi bands moved to Australia.
Sweden never shut down and now they're back to normal. What's your point?
