CONCERTS. Faced with the wave of Covid-19 and the wave of the Omicron variant, standing concerts have been banned until January 24.
Will we soon be able to return to concert, standing up and without a gauge? This Thursday, January 20, 2022, at the end of a new Defense Council, the government must present the timetable for the reduction of the measures taken to try to stem the wave of Covid-19 and the Omicron variant. Standing concerts have been banned from Monday January 3, 2022, only concerts with a seated audience and a reduced gauge can take place. Measures which were originally due to end on Monday, January 24. There is no doubt that the government schedule for the easing of measures will change this date.
Last Monday, December 27, Jean Castex announced that the maximum number of spectators authorized for sporting and cultural events, therefore concerts, was set at 2,000 people indoors and 5,000 outdoors. A measure which was to apply over three weeks, from January 3. These announcements by the Prime Minister had resulted in the postponement or cancellation of several concerts, particularly in the Zeniths, which exceed 2,000 seats. In France, 150 cinemas were concerned.
