Overview
- In a new NME interview tied to her 3D tour film, Eilish said she supports fans recording shows and recalled filming every minute when she attended concerts.
- She said she rewatched her clips over and over and credited the internet for giving her a career and a direct link to fans.
- James Cameron, who worked on the concert film, said he grew to accept phones after seeing fans use videos to include friends who could not be there.
- Some artists continue to restrict devices, with Phoebe Bridgers' shows using Yondr, a pouch that locks phones during sets, and acts like Jack White, Tool, Placebo, Silk Sonic, Bob Dylan, and Ian Moss enforcing bans.
- Safety and focus remain flashpoints, as Bring Me The Horizon singer Oli Sykes was reportedly hit by a thrown phone and concussed, and critics cite distracted crowds at large festivals like Coachella.
