Bones UK host live drive-in concert series

BONES UK have hosted a live drive-in concert series!

Staying true to their innovative spirit, the Grammy-nominated duo have found a way to return the irreplaceable magic of a live show directly to people in the midst of this COVID-19 pandemic.

Last week, the band played a drive-in concert at an undisclosed location with the help of their longtime partnership with Blackstar Amplification. Those in attendance enjoyed the electrifying performance from the safety of their vehicles, all wearing masks and respecting current social distancing measures.

Speaking about the event, Rosie Bones from the band comments, so the idea for the drive-in concert actually came to me, Rosie, while on a psychedelic journey… haha…A quarantine buddy was going on about how we should all buy drive-in movie theatres and it was like “why the fuck can’t we do DRIVE-IN CONCERTS”!!!!

Then the next day started organising our first. Obviously turns out some other people had the same idea. But there is room for them all. The difference is that ours is much more underground and punk. Like New York block parties. The energy at the first one was WILD. Like the beasts being (safely) unleashed. We are getting organised for the next one now.

And just feel like it goes to show that, where there’s a will… there is ALWAYS a way. Times like these when there are obstacles in your way, rules and safety concerns to work around actually ALWAYS bring out the most interesting solutions we think. You have to think outside the box which WE LOVE. SAFETY and the nurturing of the HUMAN spirit are our two biggest priorities at these concerts. People want to feel connected and alive, in a way that live music only can make them feel. BUT they also need to feel SAFE. The drive-in concerts do both of those things. Xxx”
