Music fans head to a "drive-in"
Live music performances were pretty much dead this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, with arenas and clubs shuttered and music festivals cancelled. But fans have been able to enjoy socially-distanced concerts at enterprising drive-ins and parking lots, which they can attend in their vehicles.
Drive-In Concert
On October 2, 2020, Boomers Stadium in Schaumburg, Illinois, which ordinarily hosts the Schaumburg Boomers Frontier League baseball team, staged the first of three concerts headlined by rock pianist Andrew McMahon in its parking lot.
