Will people be required to wear masks? Will concert goers have to show proof of being fully vaccinated?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On June 20, the Foo Fighters will perform at Madison Square Garden in New York City.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The show will be the first full-capacity performance of the year and the first since March 2020. (The venue has been open for sporting events in recent months).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, those hoping to attend the show must show proof that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to Madison Square Garden&#8217;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msg.com\/madison-square-garden\/faqs?icmp=plan-ahead_faqs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">FAQ<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children under the age of 16 are exempt, but they must provide a recent negative COVID-19 test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last month, popular hip-pop music festival Rolling Loud announced the return of the festival in Miami.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2021 festival will feature headliners A$AP Rocky, Travis Scott, and Post Malone.

It\u2019s wise to check each venue&#8217;s website before attending an event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com\/event-safety\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">According to Ticketmaster<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, some of the safety precautions venues will require are: wearing a mask during the concert, grouped seating to promote social distancing, temperature checks before entering the venue, having hand sanitizer stations throughout the venue, timed entry by having attendees enter the venue at designated entry times, and contactless entry by having your ticket on the Ticketmaster mobile app.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In October of 2020, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.ticketmaster.com\/192836-ticketmaster-introduces-smartevent-solutions-to-help-live-events-welcome-back-fans\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Ticketmaster launched its SmartEvent Solutions<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that helps venues compute seating arrangements depending on logistics, maximum capacity (with at least six feet between each party), slope angles, riser heights, and other factors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tool will also allow attendees to order concessions and concert merch using their phones and have staff deliver it to their seat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also has a Secure Ticket Transfer feature that allows the event organizers to \u201cfacilitate contact tracing if desired\u201d if a fan gets COVID-19 symptoms shortly after leaving a show (and alerts the venue owner of the sickness).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s nice to see artists getting back on the road, but it\u2019s sad to see how much has changed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/i-miss-concerts-and-theres-nothing-i-can-do-about-it\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Concerts<\/span><\/a> will never be the same. I will miss witnessing mosh pits form, artists running across the stage to touch fans hands, pushing a sea of people to get closer to the stage or preventing a crowd surfer from falling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moments like those make concerts what they are\u2014a connection between people who love the same music you do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the precautions venues are going to take sound good, but I doubt people will follow social distancing and have a mask on during a concert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The point of a concert is to uncontrollably be yourself while shouting out lyrics like no one is watching, and accidentally feeling another person\u2019s sweaty elbow next to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, I look forward to seeing the concert scene progress as we slowly get back to our new normal. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After many musicians were forced to cancel and reschedule their tours in 2020 due to COVID-19, the music industry took a hard fall.
