As COVID-19 numbers have been falling, California has announced it will reopen indoor concerts beginning on April 15. Dee Dee Meyers, senior advisor to Governor Gavin Newsom and Director of the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, said,
“As we continue to expand vaccine distribution, California is poised for a safe and equitable recovery. We will continue to work with businesses, arts, organizations, community groups and others to open carefully, with health and safety top of mind, so that we never have to go backwards.”
For those who wish to attend concerts, they will have to show either proof of a negative COVID test, or that they have been fully vaccinated. Additionally, concert reopenings will also depend on where each county sits on California’s tier system.
Indoor venues in purple tier cities (classified as “widespread” COVID positivity rate) will not be able to reopen. For venues with a capacity of up to 1,500 people, red tier capacity will be limited to 10% or 100 people, with the number allowing 255 if all guests are tested or show proof of vaccination. In venues with a capacity of over 1,500, testing or proof of vaccination is required, with capacity limited to 20%.
Orange tier venues with a capacity of 1,500 will be limited to 15% or 200 people, with capacity increased to 35% with proof of a negative COVID test or full vaccination. Venues with a capacity of over 1,500 will be limited to 10% or 2,000 people, with capacity increased to 35% following proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test.
Yellow tier capacity in venues of up to 1,500 will be limited to 25% or 300 people, with capacity increasing to 50% if all guests show proof of a negative test or full vaccination. Venues with more than 1,500 will be limited to 10% or 2,000 people, with capacity increasing to 50% if all guests show proof of a negative test or full vaccination.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo made the announcement last month that the city will clear venues to reopen at 33% in the month of April.

Bassmnt SD is all about EDM, but if you like a little variety, a separate room featuring hip hop and other music is accessible. Two small bars and a large one make sure you can keep the alcohol flowing whenever you want. Drinks are also fairly priced. However, parking is limited in the area so do arrive early to secure entry. While Bassmnt is relatively smaller than Omnia, the club still has great talent spinning most of the nights. Entry can be tricky at times as bouncers tend to be rather strict. For guaranteed entry, definitely get your tickets or book a table in advance.
Bang Bang
The first thing you’ll notice when arriving at Bang Bang is its Tokyo-subway-station-styled entrance, which leads up to a second-floor space accessed from a steep stairwell that designers revamped into a tile-lined tunnel with piped-in subway sounds. Upstairs, diners can choose between the quieter, well-lit sushi barroom or the dimly lit social room with bar, dance floor and an endless stream of weird Japanese videos and cartoons playing on the walls. On weekends, the venue opens til late as a nightclub. If you’re looking for a nice kick, do try out the Punch Bowl with a couple of friends and you will be set all night.

Two dance floors, kinetic lighting and lasers, as well as an open air roof deck with a great view of the city, Spin promises to give you a great time. On top of all that, the kitchen opens til 6am so you won’t have to be worried about having to trade dancing for leaving to eat. You’ll typically find more underground talent at Spin.

After an impressive, nearly 15-year run in the Gaslamp, Side Bar will temporarily suspend its industry nights, DJ sessions, and bottle service-fueled dance parties. The well-established bar, lounge, and nightclub is closing this Sunday, June 24 for a top-to-bottom renovation by RMD Group, which also operates the adjacent Ciro’s Pizzeria and Rustic Root and Volcano Rabbit in the Gaslamp
The remodel will reportedly take the venue in a more upscale and elevated direction. When it reopens this fall, Side Bar will feature a craft-ier cocktail menu as well as offer food service. A countdown to Sunday’s closing date starts tonight with its very last industry night, follow by the final Latin-inspired Stilo Thursday. Demolition Night is scheduled for Friday, with memorabilia and other pieces of the bar up for grabs, and an over-the-top “champagne war” blowout will go down on Saturday.

Early this year, California Senator Scott Wiener began a campaign for the ‘Let Our Communities Adjust Late Night Act’, which proposed that each municipality within the state be given authority to choose their last call hour, possibly pushing it back to as late as 4AM.
Previously, all venues throughout the entire state were limited to a 2AM last call for alcohol services. “Nightlife matters a lot, culturally and economically, and it’s time to allow local communities more flexibility,” Senator Scott Wiener argued.
The Senator’s efforts have paid off as his proposed 4AM nightlife bill has officially passed in the Senate, allowing it to now move to Assembly for a review and a vote before reaching the governor for final word to “allow but not require local communities to let their bars and nightclubs serve alcohol until 4AM”.
This is a huge move that will affect party hotspots in the state like Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco if it passes through the next phase.
