Despite being one of the majorly impacted cities caused by the coronavirus outbreak, Los Angeles California is on its way to herd immunity. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health declared that there will be 80% vaccine coverage in city residents who are 16 years old and over within the next 12 weeks.
Los Angeles County is expecting to have 85% herd immunity by late June, right in time for the summer music festival season.
From July 31 to August 1, Hard Summer Music Festival is returning to the National Orange Show Event Center in San Bernardino, California. The famous eclectic music festival that is known for attracting young EDM and hip-hop music lovers is going to be outdoors and can be held at 33% capacity.
This year’s lineup includes Future, Kaytranada, Dillon Francis, Don Toliver, and many more exciting additions.
Organized by Live Nation, there were no announcements made concerning the COVID-19 health regulations that will be strictly enforced for festival-goers. Concerts are allowed to occur once the city of San Bernardino goes into the orange tier which allows indoor gatherings with modifications. The city is expected to return to orange tier next week with an extensive reopening plan for its community and businesses.
Hard Summer Music Festival will be the first juggernaut musical event to return since the coronavirus outbreak in the United States. Los Angeles County and music festival programming is expecting to return to normal as the region loosens restrictions weekly.
Ultimately, non-essential activities and businesses are beginning to open back up and make a comeback from the economic fallout that happened in March 2020 when the pandemic initially started.
