Premier Daniel Andrews announced that from June 22, indoor cinemas, concert venues, theatres and stadiums can reopen with up to 50 seated patrons per space. Miao, who owns Prahran small theatre The MC Showroom, said it was "brilliant news" and it would be "a big relief" for artists to perform again. ''It's a green light for people in the industry to start to make some plans."

Miao will try running dinner theatre nights with audiences sitting at tables of two. They will order takeaway food and in turn support local restaurants. Zule Khan, Melbourne Comedian, said staging a dinner theatre was "a really good idea" as long as audience members were kept at a distance from one another and perhaps asked on entry if they had COVID-19 symptoms.

Drive-In Entertainment showcased how COVID-Safe live performances work with a free concert for Sydneysiders in Tempe. Casey Donovan performed the headlining act to over 40 cars, with up & coming artist Cass Hopetoun as the support act.

The performance was a huge success, with support from local councils and the police, Drive in Entertainment is looking to be the premier COVID-Safe entertainment in the years to come.

In its simplest form, the concept is a drive in theatre – where patrons enjoy shows from the comfort and safety of their own car with audio being broadcasted by an FM radio signal to your car’s surround-sound speakers, which will sync with the sound stage. The intimacy we all look for in live performances is still present but with a modern day twist of being live-streamed to the cars via Zoom, allowing the audience to interact with artists and vis-versa in real time. And the rapture of applause can be made bigger with car horns going off and wind screen wipers swaying in unison.
