The coronavirus pandemic has decimated the touring industry. No touring revenue means that acts have a hard time paying their crews and support staff. Given that running a band is every bit the same as running a business, they’re entitled to apply for emergency government loans. Here’s a list of acts that have done just that.

$2 million and above

Kanye West (a self-proclaimed billionaire. Just sayin’.)

$350,000 to $1 million

Eagles
Pearl Jam
Disturbed

Undetermined (but probably between $150,000 and $350,000)

The Head and the Heart
Imagine Dragons
Nickelback (Er, how did a Canadian band manage to get an American loan?)
Cheap Trick
Chainsmokers
Lil Jon
311
Weezer
Tool
Jason Isbel
Lil Jon
Papa Roach
Pentatonix
Rascal Flatts
