Staples Center, Microsoft Theater welcomes concert fans this weekend

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) – Live concerts are returning to downtown Los Angeles for the first time in more than a year – and there are some important health and safety rules fans should know.

The new rules are similar for both the Staples Center and the Microsoft Theater at LA Live. This weekend, the Latin pop groups Grupo Firme and Marca MP will perform on the premises.

“You will need to wear a face cover while walking around the venue and while you are not eating or drinking,” said Lee Zeidman, a Staples Center official. “We are also under the leadership of Los Angeles County Public Health, where we have self-certification.”

This means that you will need a negative COVID-19 test result 72 hours before the concert or to be fully vaccinated. You will not be asked to show proof of vaccination.

The health and safety guidelines for the venue are available here.

The Californian group Marca MP will perform at the Microsoft Theater on Saturday evening. It is the first time in more than a year that they have performed live.

“It will be very exciting on Saturday, just knowing that every seat behind us here is sold and a person will be sitting there watching us and it will be exciting,” said Pedro Vargas with Marca MP.

Food and souvenirs at both locations will be sold cashless. But there are also electronic kiosks that allow concert goers to convert cash into prepaid cards that can be used anywhere. There is no charge, but there is a $ 10 minimum.

At both locations, we recommend that you arrive early to get to your seat on time. Both management says there will be teams disinfecting and sanitizing both locations.
