NORFOLK, Va. — After a long downturn in live music due to the COVID-19 pandemic, alternative rock acts All Time Low and The Maine played to a sold-out crowd at The NorVa Tuesday night.
Both bands are touring in support of their albums that dropped during the pandemic. The Baltimore-based All Time Low released "Wake Up, Sunshine" in April 2020. The Maine released "XOXO: From Love and Anxiety in Real Time" on July 9 of this year.
Philadelphia-natives Grayscale also opened the show. They're dropping their new album "Umbra" on Friday.
Before getting into the venue, The NorVa required that people show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative test within 72 hours prior to the show. Beginning Oct. 1, the venue will require full vaccination for concert-goers.
All we can say is that it's good to have live music back.
