Locally, most venues have reopened, and artists are back on the road, but the recent surge in infections, now from the highly contagious Delta variant, has once again threatened to upend L.A.'s live music scene. As legislators struggle to reach consensus on mask and vaccine mandates, venues in Los Angeles County are gearing up for battle once more. Yet a growing number of local venues, from the Troubadour to Zebulon, are now requiring patrons to show proof of vaccination or a negative test within the past 48 hours to enter the premises. For Jef Soubiran, co-owner of Frogtown live venue and restaurant Zebulon, it’s a matter of survival. There will be no vaccine card or negative PCR test result required for entry at any L.A. Phil venue.
