Omicron concert cancellations signal a rough start to 2022
“New Year’s Eve is symbolic of all the ways the drag community in San Francisco had been resilient during the pandemic,” says Rude, who, with her duo Princess, planned to perform Julie Brown’s “The Homecoming Queen’s Got a Gun” at midnight. “People were looking for a way to blow off steam after a really challenging year.”
“We were trying to find a replacement crew, but fans were saying, ‘This is not the most ideal date for us,'” says Lee Anderson, agent for Zedd, Skrillex and Disclosure. “Airlines had to cancel because they weren’t able to staff. Venues weren’t able to staff. It ends up not being the best idea.” “Big-event holidays” such as New Year’s, Halloween and Pride are critical for drag queen performers, Rude says: “This is a night we’re guaranteed to have a full audience, which means we’ll make more money in tips, more people will get exposed to our art and visibility is heightened.”
