“We’re really excited to get our artists back in front of fans sharing their talent again, ina safe environment. Not having the opportunity to perform live since March has been difficult for both the artists and the fans. Not only are we proud to be able to showcase our family of artists and bring people together again, but we are honoured to support such an incredible cause.” - SteelHead Management
The Diesel BirdHotel Music Festival will showcase the “Staycation” venue model, developed by event and ticketing platform, Showpass. This concert will be the ultimate VIPsummer festival experience, resembling a concert viewed from a private boxsuite. By design, the hotel layout provides a safe social distancing environment with individual bathrooms, room service capabilities, contactless check in and check out, and a room to stay the night in, alleviating drinking and driving concerns and complying with all COVID-19 health and safety guidelines. The entertainment and hospitality industry have been two of the most impacted industries due to the pandemic, with the majority of major music festivals being cancelled and hotel vacancy rates on the rise. The “Staycation”concert model will assist in bringing both industries back to life.
“After seeing the success and response to the Hotels Live concert series, we started thinking of ways that we could take this concept one step further. We’ve now expanded our network of hotel partners, artists, and have begun working with amazing festivals partners like Diesel Bird to revive and support live music throughout Canada and the U.S ” said Lucas McCarthy, Showpass CEO.
