\"I’m very excited to do this because I wanted to make sure, if we were going to do anything like this, that they had the important stuff worked out,\" Paisley told The Associated Press. \"My goal would be not to spread this virus to one person. There should be no spread from this. That’s key. I just don’t think it’s worth doing shows if we’re putting people at risk.\"
\"The idea that we’re outdoors is a great thing,\" he added. \"I just think it’s a fun way to watch a concert anyway. It’d be fun if there wasn’t a virus.\"
Tickets for the general public go on sale this Friday, June 26, at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com/DriveIn. Tom See, president of Live Nation Venues – US Concerts, told the AP that prices will vary by market but can potentially be as low as $125 per car.
