# Drive-In Summer Concerts Live Talk is Hosting a Social Distance-Friendly Drive-In Event By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-05-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drive-in-event References: [twitter](https://twitter.com/julytalk/status/1260662454612365315/photo/1) & [julytalk](https://www.julytalk.com/drive-in) It's unclear when people will be able to be shoulder-to-shoulder with others at concerts and music festivals but some bands are getting creative when it comes to sharing live music—such as by hosting drive-in events. While many artists are turning to social media, there's something undeniably different about an in-person experience and indie rock band July Talk is introducing an August show that sticks to social distancing protocols by uniting people from the safety of their cars. The drive-in summer concert experience promises a full 90-minute live set, where attendees will be able to "watch from the comfort and safety of their cars as live feed video of the show is projected onto the drive-in screens."
