A Gwinnett city recently more than tripled its capacity for an outdoor concert, given a decline in weekly COVID-19 cases in the county.

At a Tuesday meeting, Peachtree Corners officials decided to up the attendance capacity from 800 to 2,500 people for an upcoming May 29 concert at the city’s Town Green. Reservations will still be required with a maximum of six reservations per household.

In light of the CDC’s Thursday announcement, fully vaccinated people will not be asked to wear a mask or socially distance at the concert. Individuals will not be asked to show proof of vaccinations, but unvaccinated individuals will be encouraged to wear a face mask and socially distance.

Rumours, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band, will headline the free concert. Atlanta-based Lilac Wine will open the show at 7 p.m. Tickets can be reserved starting May 16.

City officials will continue monitoring health and safety guidelines provided by health officials before making a decision on other Town Green concerts planned for the year, said Judy Putnam, communications director for the city.
