As Cabinet gathers this week to discuss reopening hospitality, plans have also been developed for the return of live entertainment starting next month.

Culture minister Catherine Martin has drawn up proposals for events across a range of genres and entertainment, including rock, classical, and electronic music, as well as comedy and theatre, in a variety of venues across the country, indoor and outdoor, large and small.
