Live Nation Donates $5M To Emergency COVID-19 Fund For Concert Crews

The latest entertainment company to offer help during this CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) pandemic is LIVE NATION ENTERTAINMENT, which will bring aid to those whose incomes have been devastated by the virus.

MUSIC BUSINESS WORLDWIDE reports, "The company has launched 'Crew Nation,' which will see LNE contribute an initial $5 million to a fund designed to help touring and venue crews who have been temporarily left out of work by the cancellation and closure of shows."

In a statement, LIVE NATION said, “Live music inspires millions around the world, but the concerts we all enjoy wouldn’t be possible without the countless crew members working behind the scenes. As COVID-19 puts concerts on pause, we want to extend a helping hand to the touring and venue crews who depend on shows to make a living. Crew Nation was created to do just that.”
