Music venues & live event industry offer vaccine aid in letter to Biden
The National Independent Venue Association, aka NIVA, has teamed up with live event producers and other industry groups, including
Live Nation, AEG, We Make Events, The Broadway League, National Independent Talent Organization, and more, to offer their venues and staff to President
Joe Biden to aid in the process of giving out COVID vaccines. It's not a new idea -- Coachella producers Goldenvoice have been in talks with Riverside County, CA to create a mass vaccination site -- and with event workers continuing to weather the industry shutdown, with no new work on the horizon, their experience in setting up spaces and managing crowds of people could be a major boon to the vaccine effort.
