EDM’s Top 20 News Stories of 2020 – Year In Review
Phew! We have managed to survive one of the most trying years that will go down in history. 2021 is finally here as everyone holds high hopes and dreams that the world will become a safer place.
In March, COVID-19 changed the world overnight as face masks and hand sanitizer suddenly became just as important when leaving your house as your keys and your cell-phone. In doing so, the pandemic also turned the entire music industry upside down as live entertainment was put on hold and artists were scrambling to find alternative ways to make money. This resulted in the music industry suffering a tremendous loss in 2020.
However, instead of isolating, the dance music industry united as artists began to perform for charity events and a number of tracks were released to help those in need. To make the most of the situation, livestreams and drive-ins became the new norm while virtual reality experiences for those at home also became viable means of entertainment.
Now, with 2021 officially here, the industry has high expectations that the live entertainment sector will return with a vengeance. Major music festivals have already announced dates and lineups for the coming year as the industry holds its breath in anticipation.
Let’s take one final look back to see what a whirlwind of a year it has been with EDM’s Top 20 news stories of 2020.
