One of the first countries to announce it plans for live events in the future is Spain. The Spanish government has a 4 stage plan to reopen the country with each stage lasting a minimum of 2 weeks. Before moving onto the next stage each province will be reevaluated before being able to move onto the next stage. 

The first stage that could begin on the 11th May, this will allow cultural events to happen. Indoor venues will have a limited capacity of 30 people if the venue has usual capacity of 90 or more. Outdoor venues must all be seated and a limited capacity of 200 will be applied. 

The second stage will allow indoor venues to up their audience capacity to a third of their usual legal limit with a maximum of 50 people. Outdoor seated events will have their capacity raised to 400 people. This stage will also allow cinemas and theatres at a third of their legal capacity to reopen. 

The final stage of the plan will see the reopening of night clubs and bars again at a third of the usual capacity. Indoor events will have a capacity limit of 80 and outdoor events of up to 800 people will be allowed.
