I recorded this just 30 minutes ago as I'm typing this out, but I was determined to get this episode out as soon as possible. We've all heard about the recent incidents at the Kultureland Festival and Kingston Fest, and I had to cover what happened. However, this new episode of The Safe Room focuses on Concert Culture, don't know if this concept exists already; if not, I was the first one to say it. Anyways, when we go out to concerts, whether you're the individual, artist/performer on stage, or even the event organizers, we rarely check our surroundings to see if the space we just entered is safe or welcoming. Many are pointing fingers at who to blame; personally, it's our fault. Although, the majority of the blame must be shifted to the event organizers for a lack-lustered effort to provide the necessities in food/beverages, spacing for crowd members, audio quality/performance, on-guard security, and so much more. Take a listen to this episode, and let's open up to how concert culture may be impacted to our distance from in-person events from the fan perspective; artists' fear of losing their fanbase from the performer perspective; and organizers' lack of knowledge and adaptability to these chaotic settings from the individual perspective.
