The event calendar for 2022 is filled with newly announced concerts and festivals, plus rescheduled performances from 2020 and 2021. The outlook for many live shows still depends on the development of the pandemic.
Restrictions for attending performances and events can be found here. Currently, a maximum of 1,000 people can attend cultural or sporting events and must be seated. Attendees show proof of Covid vaccination or recovery, with some exceptions. Organizers must check certificates by scanning QR codes. Respirators are required inside venues.
The rules are expected to be relaxed in the spring and summer if the pandemic subsides. Ticket sellers must offer refunds if events are canceled, but if the concert is postponed people should keep their tickets which will remain valid for the new date.
