Floating movie theaters in France and the US, is something similar possible with gigs?

Movie-lovers from Paris were treated to a floating cinema last Saturday as part of Paris Plages, the yearly transformation of sections of the Seine into man-made beaches, CoS reports. Parisians boarded 38 electric boats for a free showing of the 2018 French comedy 'Le Grand Bain'. A similar idea is crossing the Atlantic - starting this September, Beyond Cinema will launch 12 to 24 mini boats in 19 US and Canada cities. Movies will be projected on a large screen outdoors near the water, and patrons can pay to watch the film in comfort from one of the floating vessels. Prior to the COVID era, similar events were held in Australia. Is it time for this concept to cross over to live-music territory?
