The Palladium and The Webster need your help. Let’s keep these legendary venues going and help the employees and contribute to large operational costs of both venues due to the uncertainty of when live shows will return.
The crowdfunding page on Indiegogo is HERE.
From the venues:
How COVID-19 has impacted us?
To our loyal patrons & fans, as the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to greatly impact every sector of our lives, it has become increasingly more apparent that the negative impact specifically on the live music industry is far greater than many of us could have ever imagined. With this said, both our respective venues, The Palladium in Worcester, MA, and The Webster in Hartford, CT have been forced to close our doors since early March. Due to this, the majority of our incredible employees have been displaced from work and are facing the uncertainty of when they will be able to return. While we remain hopeful that we will be able to resume having events as early as this summer, the stark reality is we still do not have a definitive timeline of when we will be able to do so and how and to what degree governmental restrictions may limit the scale of our operations.
What and how the funds will be utilized?
For the reasons above, we have decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign to provide financial assistance to the impacted employees of both venues and to also help offset some of the large operational costs that we will continue to incur indefinitely until we are able to safely reopen. Our employees are what make our venues what they are and we truly hope to support them during this trying time in whatever capacity we can.
