RIUH Cheat Sheet: The Return of Live Music

BLOG

Now I know, we’ve all been deprived of live music for the past month (or year!) The pandemic stole our physical entertainment but it’s finally coming back and we’re all here for it! So call up those friends you’ve been wanting to catch up with, it’s a good time to be alive and out in the city! Be reminded of the SOPs, stay distanced and stay safe 🎉

We bring you our list of live gigs happening for the next few weeks, first up:
