Before the Headliner – intro video

Tonight is "Zero Gravity Planet"'s farewell performance at Echo Livehouse, and also lead singer Lu Xingye's last show before signing a solo deal. Forty minutes before doors open, the drummer goes off-grid. The record label's manager demands the band's set be cancelled and replaced by Lu Xingye performing alone, as his debut solo act. You are the sound engineer at Echo Livehouse; the headliner's start time must be confirmed by you. Lu Xingye needs you to hold the headliner slot for an extra twenty minutes so he can find his drummer—meaning you have to stand your ground against both the venue owner and the record label.
