The Lot at Zidell Yards—a new outdoor event space that neighbors OHSU's buildings on the South waterfront—announced a full lineup of summer concerts and film screenings this morning. Planned musical acts include Ural Thomas & The Pain, Y La Bamba, and Federale, and tickets for some shows are already on sale.
The new slate of acts is welcome news for those who hope to achieve some level of post-vaccination revelry this summer, as it's still unclear when indoor concert venues will be willing and able to reopen in Oregon. While some movie theaters have reopened, attendance capacity is still limited. Zidell Yards bills itself as "our city's premier socially-distanced, outdoor performance venue," meaning attendees won't have to worry about being thrown back into a big crowd after a year of avoiding contact with most other humans.
