The O2 Arena’s first socially distanced gig, with Squeeze headlining, has been rescheduled to 2/27 from 12/5 due to current lockdown restrictions in England. It was due to be the first live music event with fans since the venue closed in March.

Capacity is set to be reduced to 4,700 from 20,000, and extensive planning and a number of new safety measures have been put in place.

“It’s disappointing to have to delay this show but I would like to say how grateful we are for the support we’ve received from the industry, fans and our partners and we look forward to Squeeze performing in the arena next year,” Steve Sayer, VP & GM of The O2 said.

The O2 has temporarily closed its doors until 12/2.
