IRVINE, Calif.—Live concerts are returning to center stage as the 2021 Orange County Fair after the COVID-19 pandemic hit the pause button on live performances.

Ongoing confusion swirling around capacity and large venue safety guidelines resulted in some venues booking further out or closer than others. It has left many venues trying to schedule appealing lineups at the last minute, a feat of alignment that requires both the band and the venue’s ability to adjust and pivot around the economy opening back up, travel schedules, and availability of crew.
