Fête de la musique : le gouvernement rappelle les règles
Mercredi 9 juin, un page du plan de réouverture se tourne : le couvre-feu prendra effet à 23h (et non plus à 21h), la jauge dans les lieux de spectacle passera de 35 à 65% — et le pass sanitaire devra progressivement s’imposer pour accéder aux évènements rassemblant plus de 1000 personnes. Ces nouvelles règles s’appliqueront aussi pour la 39e Fête de la musique, le 21 juin prochain.
Ainsi, dans un communiqué, le ministère de la Culture rappelle qu’ « aucune dérogation ou tolérance n’est prévue le soir » de la manifestation concernant le couvre-feu ou l’obligation de recourir au pass sanitaire si plus de 1000 spectateurs sont attendus.
Fête de la musique maintained with masks and curfew
On Wednesday 9 June, a new chapter of the reopening plan will begin: the curfew will start at 11pm (instead of 9pm), the autorized capacity of venues will be increased from 35% to 65% – and the health pass will gradually be required for access to events gathering more than 1000 people. These new rules will also apply to the 39th Fête de la musique on 21 June.
In a press release, the Ministry of Culture reminded that “no derogation or tolerance is anticipated on the evening” of the event regarding the curfew or the obligation to use the health pass if more than 1000 spectators are expected.
