Due to pandemic this spring clubs, music spaces and concert halls stopped working. How it affected musicians, industry and listeners? What can venues and musical events expect in future?

Opportunities for independent musicians. • Clubs on lockdown: economics, problems and ethics • Musician profession: art vs management • What to do if online concerts will be back? Experience and future of the format in Russia • I will survive? Or how industry copes with pandemia consequences. European experience. And many more.
