Could we start a new thread where we have all live performances in one place? I'm so desperate now and don't want to miss anything!
Things I know of so far:
New Normal Festival, Wandsworth
JCS at the Open Air Theatre
Donmar (not exactly live but in a theatre so willing to count it)
Fanny and Stella
Brighton Open Air Theatre
Windmill
LSO is booking for some lunchtime concerts in Sept/Oct
Wigmore Hall appears to be booking for live concerts from Sept (but are still saying priority booking only despite public booking due to start from 14 July so don't know how real that is)
Am I missing anything?
Please do update as you hear things!

If anyone fancies a trip to Huddersfield, the lovely Lawrence Batley Theatre could well be the first in the country to announce a post-lockdown indoor season, starting as early as 5 September.
There's variety, spoken word, circus theatre, an Ayckbourn, comedy, mediumship, drama, physical theatre, dance and, perhaps most encouraging of all, music and singing.
Down for the Count Swing Orchestra is there on 16 September, followed in October by not one, but two Night(s) at the Musicals, with West End star Christina Modestou.
And there's no discrimination against solo theatregoers. You book a ticket, rather than a seat.
In the words of the LBT, "The Show Will Go On!"

WhatsOnStage, Theatre Cafe and Northampton's Derngate also have news/announcements coming tomorrow. May not be about live performances I suppose, but I'm happy to look forward to all theatrical news right now 😀

zahidf Thanks so much for flagging this up - led me to find out that Holland Park Opera is doing a few outdoor concerts next weekend and the public booking literally just opened so have a bagged a couple of tickets. So nice to be able to have interesting plans again, I was starting to go out of my mind.

Looks like all the indoor stuff is off for a while... Saw a tweet from Ronnie Scott's cancelling their opening this weekend. Such a terrible shame.
