If social distancing still exists will still pose the logical and economic headaches for organising gigs. Would be curious to know what capacity of venues promoters are selling for gigs put on and sold since the restrictions. For rescheduled ones it will be original capacity so not sure are they just hoping for the best? Or logistically lot easier to reschedule gig in hope that it does happen then worry about putting on new ones? My earliest postponed gig next year is January in 3 Arena but not sure how it could go ahead with original capacity with social distancing so no idea how it's going to play out tbh!

And with games in outdoor stadiums might be a bit different but it's a positive alright no doubt and hopefully a good sign for gigs one way or the other!
