Rules (Work in Progress)
Must be a real concert, not one or two people playing instruments
Must be to an audience in a method intended to be a concert (so not 'astronauts playing an instrument during a broadcast where they talk to the public')
Must be in outer space or the moon or another planet, not high atmosphere zero-g flights
A full set, not just one or two songs
Audience can be in-person or remote
Some recognition by mainstream news as 'first concert in outer space' or 'first concert on moon' etc
THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO COUNT AS SPACE OR A CONCERT BTW, unless more details come out https://variety.com/2022/music/news/chainsmokers-perform-space-2024-1235319671/
@OlegEterevsky would be a combination of reported in the media as such, plus my judgement. I am not counting existing performances of 1-2 instruments by a few people in a space station to another astronaut. i am anticipating things like
a widespread audience, even if livestreamed,
MAYBE some fee/ticket, even if for remote viewing
a full set list , not just one or two songs
most likely by a known performer who has done on-earth concerts before (although i am not sure if that is reqiured yet)
some recognition by press as 'first concert in space' or on moon etc
Does a livestream of the performer in space with the audience on Earth count? What is the minimum crowd size to count as a real concert? Does a space station in low Earth orbit count as in outer space?
@TheAllMemeingEye see other comment. low earth orbit is going to be an edge case i'll decide at the time. kinda depends on how the world feels about it.
