However, very little research has been done to assess the impact of Covid-19 on the music industry nationally despite music being something that is intrinsically linked to our lives to such an extent that most people consider it as a way to escape from mental and physical agony. Let’s start by discussing the effect on concert organizers. So again, this will inevitably lead to a situation where a lot of the new musicians will be forced to leave music and look for alternative ways to earn a livelihood. I want to conclude by saying that the music industry has been hit as hard by the pandemic as any other industry one may pick, despite the lack of interest shown in terms of conducting research on the same. We all need to realize that reviving the music industry in the post-Covid world is indeed an uphill battle that can never be won by the valiant action of a single person or group, but through the collective effort of all concerned.
