The owner of the Horseshoe Tavern says shows at the venue are likely months away at best, even though indoor concerts could be allowed by late July and outdoor concerts by next week as part of Ontario’s COVID-19 reopening plan. thestar.com/business/2021/…
While the reopening plan will allow outdoor concerts in Step 2 and indoor shows in Step 3 “with spectator capacity restrictions,” not knowing precise conditions under which they’ll operate makes planning difficult, said Horseshoe Tavern owner Jeff Cohen. thestar.com/business/2021/…
“At the Horseshoe, we normally book a month and a half in advance. What band is going to want to book without knowing what kind of a crowd they’ll be able to play in front of?” thestar.com/business/2021/…
Shaun Bowring, owner of Toronto concert venues the Garrison and the Baby G, said, "Venues book acts three, six, 12 or 24 months out. I get that things change. If you have to tweak a plan, tweak it. But at least have one and let people know." thestar.com/business/2021/…
