Nicky Romero knows for sure: When the corona crisis is over, he won’t go back to his old tour schedule. The DJ now knows how important it is to be able to take a rest and wants to keep it.
“I notice that the life we lead is actually not normal. Plane in and out, hotel in and out. We have barely landed or are already on our way to the next city or another country. You are thrown in all directions. When we start touring again, I will take stock again “, the DJ in conversation with AD.
Romero did twelve or fourteen shows a month before the corona crisis, but wants to go to eight. “You are on a train that keeps on rumbling. Once it has come to a stop, you wonder: where am I actually? What do I want?”
In recent months, the 31-year-old DJ suddenly had time to do things with his family and he could go on holiday with friends. He hasn’t been able to do it that way for years. “Slowly you become part of this society again. I realize that my life is more precious than traveling alone, doing shows and generating sales.”
He is concerned about the future of artists after the corona crisis. “What if this really takes longer? What kind of dance industry is left? Do we need to come up with new formats? It doesn’t look bright, but I don’t see any reason to panic. For now, we’ll stick with it. although it would be nice if something happened soon. “
