If you live in New York City — or follow anyone in NY on various social media platforms — you will already be well aware of the ongoing COVID-19 / Omicron spike in that region. As a result, many NYC-based venues (Baby’s All Right, Union Pool) have canceled shows scheduled to go on this weekend, while others have started requiring masks indoors (Saint Vitus). LCD Soundsystem, who are currently playing a residency at Brooklyn Steel, will not be canceling their remaining shows (as of now, they are scheduled to play through the 21st).
