Living out loud: Six people out of 5,000 who attended an indoor trial concert last month in Barcelona reported testing positive for Covid-19 afterwards, said organisers, giving hope for the revival of the live music industry. — AFP

WHEN Spanish indie pop band Love of Lesbian started playing, “everybody, artists, organisers and the public, we were all crying, because it was so emotional to be together again, ” Gemma Recoder, one of the organisers of a mass concert in Barcelona in March, recalled the moment live music entered the Covid-19 era.

The government-approved concert in Barcelona served as a test for whether live events and the like will be able to start up again.
