Like the song goes, see you in September.
The concert industry is looking toward the end of summer and into the fall for a return of the big shows, according to industry insiders.
“I think it’s a safe bet that outdoor concerts can return with some normality by early fall, and indoor concerts will follow that trend, probably by September and October,” said Jim Steen, a Manahawkin-based concert promotion veteran with Bowery Presents in New York and Pennsylvania.
“Everybody is being very optimistic for the fall,” said Stan Levinstone, owner of the Haddonfield-based SLP Concerts. “It seems people are looking at September.”
