We were only discussing the rise in celebrities using promotional face masks the other day, but it seems like some of them have opted to lend their brand to a reusable mask range designed to raise money for the Musicares charity in support of those in the industry doing it tough during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Is It Cool To Wear Face Masks In Concerts?

The pandemic has seriously affected the music industry, with concerts and festivals being canceled or postponed. With shows slowly opening up, there is an ongoing debate about whether it's cool to wear face masks at concerts. Some people believe that wearing a mask is necessary to reduce the spread of the virus, while others find it quite disruptive during a concert.

 

The supporters of wearing a mask argue that it can help lessen the risk of contracting COVID-19, especially when in crowded places where social distancing is impossible. Further, some concert-goers would love to attend functions where there's a mask mandate, which could help rekindle public confidence in live events.

 

Conversely, detractors argue masks can be quite uncomfortable, taking off the overall vibe of the concert experience. Some people feel masks may be unnecessary where vaccination rates are high, and the spread of the virus is low.

 

If you feel like wear a mask, feel free to do so, but if you don't want to, that's okay too. Regardless of your personal choice, it is vital for everyone to prioritize safety and health in these trying moments.

Promotional Cloth Masks for Charity

In the United States, where disposable medical quality PPE is difficult to access even for professionals, many people are opting to wear washable fabric masks instead, despite the fact they are not designed to protect individuals against COVID-19. Although these masks are more on the side of fashion than safety, they are still popular merchandise options during these desperate times which has led to the release of a charitable range of reusable masks from some big-name musicians.

Billie Eilish, BLACKPINK, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Queen, Justin Bieber, 5SOS, and many others have joined forces with "We've Got You Covered" to produce a range of individual reusable masks in a simple, fashionable style. Each mask features an artist logo on black cotton fabric with one-size-fits-all elastic ear loops on either side. 100% of the profits from the sale of these masks go to the Musicares charity which is currently helping to support thousands of workers from the industry doing it tough with concerts and festivals cancelled around the world -- definitely a good cause!

While we recommend that if you want to wear a mask you opt for protective disposable masks, we know that in some areas of the world that just isn't possible.  Reusable masks make great fashion statements when worn as accessories so we're sure that no matter who ends up purchasing the range of masks being produced by these celebs, they'll end up looking amazing.
