The German heavy metal band ‘Destruction’ recently performed in one of the first socially distanced concerts in Switzerland. Puza Snigdha reports.
The concert took place at Z7 in Pratteln, Switzerland, on 3-4 July. The venue had the capacity of 1500 people, but after following social distance measures only allowed 250 into venue for the first night, and 300 people for the second night.
Announcing the concert, Destruction vocalist Schmier said: “When we heard that our fave club Z7 is doing concerts under government restrictions, we were amazed by the fact because we all know that the prognosis for shows this year was very low.”
“Switzerland has very low corona cases and moves ahead as a role-model at the moment. When we got invited to play, I read the precautions and restrictions for concerts in the country and there is a lot of substance in their catalogue of measures. Social distancing only works with common sense, so we all need to learn how to live with it!”
A part of the show was live-streamed on Facebook. Watch some of the performance below:
