The latest experiment to investigate the safe return of live music is set to take place in Luxembourg next month.
Five test concerts – with health measures and restrictions in place – are due to take place at the Rockhal arena, with organisers hoping it will pave the way for the full return of live music.
Organised by the lobby group Arena Resilience Alliance (ARA), the shows will see a limited capacity of 100 fans per night with compulsory masks and strict social distancing enforced.

The gigs will also be seated, with fans sitting around a central 360° stage. Attendees will also face Covid-19 tests before the event and seven days later.

“We have our first date booked for Lollapalooza, and we’re headlining in Chicago,” Schon added. “And that’s supposedly in April.
Lollapalooza is held at Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois.
“Hopefully that’ll not get pushed back, because the vaccine is finally here,” Schon continued. “And hopefully they start dispersing it very quickly so everybody can get back on their feet and can get out and hear music, ’cause that’s what heals the world, I think.”

Northern Ireland’s Stendhal Festival has announced it will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year with two separate events.
The 10th instalment of the festival, which first took place in 2011, was supposed to take place at Balefully Cottage Farm this year, but due to the coronavirus pandemic it was cancelled.
Organisers have now said that they are much more optimistic about events returning in 2021 after the commencement of the roll out of a mass vaccination programme, which they say can be used in conjunction with social distancing plans they have already devised to ensure that the events can take place this summer.
