Normal... For Now: Inside The First Socially Distanced Concert In The U.S.

ProSoundWeb: On Monday, May 18, TempleLive in Fort Smith, AR hosted what is being considered the first socially distanced concert in the United States in the wake of COVID-19. The venue’s normal capacity of 1,100 was reduced to 20 percent, allowing 229 people to attend the performance by Bishop Gunn frontman Travis McCready. Besides the reduced capacity (which at time of press had been expanded to 30 percent), the TempleLive website provided an overall modified operation protocol.
