Finally, some good news in 2021 for the music industry and it’s for concert fans.
After a 5,000-person indoor concert in late March, the event’s organizers have determined there is “no evidence” that it spread COVID-19. The indie rock concert took place at the Palau de Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain, and was a collaboration between Spanish music promoters and a local hospital.
Concertgoers were administered nasal tests before entry to the event and were tested again two weeks later. Surgical masks accompanied the ticket and were mandatory, but social distancing measures was not (hello, mosh pits).
In total, only six attendees returned a positive COVID-19 test after attending the concert, four of which were ruled out indefinitely from infection at the concert. Two other cases had a “very high probability” of not being contracted at the event, according to health experts who worked the study.

There has been no sign of coronavirus infection among 5,000 unvaccinated people who took part in an indoor trial concert last month in Barcelona seeking pandemic-safe ways to celebrate mass events, organisers said Tuesday.
The participants underwent PCR tests two weeks after the March 27 event and there is no sign that suggests transmission took place during the event, Josep Maria Llibre, a specialist in infectious diseases from the Germans Trias i Pujol hospital told a news conference.
Organised by the hospital and a group of Spanish music promoters, the concert in the Palau de Sant Jordi was billed as Europe s biggest indoor rock concert since the start of the pandemic.
