England to Allow Indoor Concerts Beginning Next Month
According to music blogger Dancing Astronaut, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced Friday that the government will allow “live indoor performances” beginning August 1st, six months after the Coronavirus pandemic shut down live entertainment.
Everyone from performers to audiences and venues along with staff will be required to maintain all social distancing guidelines during reopening. If the live indoor concerts go well without any problems or spike in new cases, Johnson said “stadium shows, conferences and other business events” will be allowed to resume in October.
From 1 August socially distanced audiences can return for indoor performances in theatres, music halls and other venues. This builds on pilots with @londonsymphony and others. So pleased to make progress to Stage 4 of our road map for culture. pic.twitter.com/Js7dQUghZ6
