'It feels like everyone is already underwater, but saying ‘keep your hair dry, keep your hair dry,’ while we’re f*cking sinking.' LauraJaneGrace and other musicians weigh in on the pressures of performing in an almost-but-not-quite post-COVID world

“Everyone’s experience of this thing is unique to them, even if the crushing weight of capitalism is royally fucking all of us,” PUP’s Steve Sladkowski says, of the pressures to get out on the road amidst the unknowns of today’s COVID world.

Financials aside, even at the best of times touring is a careful dance of managing endless details and trying to mitigate disaster before it strikes. It’s a nightmare Excel spreadsheet brought to life. COVID restrictions and mask mandates only add to an existing headache. Now artists’ to-do lists are expanding to include things like checking the COVID level in every tour stop, planning for COVID tests every step along the way, looking up the mask mandates and how and where they’re enforced .

The personal onus of concert goers and the general public to act responsibly is not just for our own health, but for the continued health of people trying to hit the road to entertain. Masking up, though, only solves part of the equation: “You have everyone being like, ‘Please wear a mask at shows so that artists don’t get sick and so that people don’t get sick,’” Laura Jane Grace says.
