More than 1,500 music venues across the U.S. will be illuminated in red light on Tuesday evening (Sept. 1) in an effort to encourage Congress to pass the Restart Act, which would provide much-needed assistance for the live-entertainment industry and other businesses devastated by the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the announcement, over 1,600 theatres, production houses, hotels, casinos, residences, recording studios, opera houses, ballrooms, nightclubs, arenas, and individual homes plan to support the effort, and many local publications, across the country report that local venues will join in.
