Dr. Fauci says concerts could return in the fall
With vaccinations against COVID beginning to roll out across the country, tours and festivals have also been revealing rescheduled dates, some for later this year. Live Nation President Joe Berchtold expressed optimism in December that concerts could be held this summer, but the actual timeline may wind up being more delayed, especially as vaccinations are happening more slowly than anticipated. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director
Dr. Fauci recently made his own estimate about the return of live performances. The
New York Times reports that Fauci, speaking at a conference held by the Association of Performing Arts Professionals, said that he thought theaters and music venues could reopen "some time in the fall of 2021."
