New York City mayor removes vaccination requirement for concerts
COVID vaccination will no longer be required to attend gigs in the city.Vaccination has been a requirement of entry for all gigs since live music returned last summer, with anti-vax protestors gathering outside Foo Fighters’ reopening concert at Madison Square Garden.In an announcement in the city’s Times Square, Adams confirmed that from Monday, May 7, vaccination will no longer be required to attend gigs as well as restaurants, bars and gyms.“Businesses previously covered will still have the flexibility to require proof of vaccination or masking indoors if they choose,” Adams’ office confirmed.The Mayor did go on to stress that “COVID changes, it shifts, it modifies, and we must be willing to do the same.”Watch the speech below.Last month, industry insiders and health experts spoke to NME about what US fans can expect from live music during the next stage of the ongoing pandemic.After being postponed three times during the pandemic, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is set to return to Southern California this April. One of the world’s biggest festivals, the event draws up to 125,000 fans to the Indio desert a day, which is why health officials initially forced the event to cancel, pointing to the high risk of viral spread due to the large number of attendees.

Cordae Takes New York City on a Bird’s-Eye View: Concert Review
Jordan Moreau Cordae helped heat up a frigid New York City on Sunday night with a blend of fiery bars and slow-cooked jams delivered to a packed room at Webster Hall.The 24-year-old rapper is currently in the middle of an international tour for “From a Birds Eye View,” his second studio release and first after the doubly Grammy-nominated “The Lost Boy.” Despite his youth and the ongoing pandemic, the Gen-Z favorite drew a sold-out crowd of mostly high-schoolers and twenty-somethings ready to vibe out to feel-good songs like “Want From Me” and “C Carter,” and to jump around to pumped-up hits like “Broke as Fuck” and “Have Mercy.”Cordae has been building a following for years, first as a member of the rap group YBN and more recently as a solo artist. Though he made some hits alongside founders YBN Nahmir and YBN Almighty Jay, Cordae always seemed destined for more.
