ST. LOUIS — City Foundry STL announced plans Thursday to move its popular concert series outdoors for the summer, with notable touring acts The Floozies, Andy Frasco and John Moreland lined up to perform.
Now through June 23, attendees can enjoy live music while immersed in the urban landscape of the historic Foundry.
“City Foundry was developed to be a place where people can gather to eat, drink and experience a sense of community,” said Will Smith of City Foundry STL. “Outdoor concerts are yet another facet of how this historic space is being brought to life for St. Louisans.”
The concert series, in collaboration with Jamo Presents, started indoors in late March.
Safety measures have been established to keep concert attendees socially distanced. Visit Jamo's website for more on safety protocols and ticketing pods.
The Floozies will perform for two nights, April 30 and May 1 both at 8 p.m., and the latter show is sold out. Known for their high-energy live shows, Andy Frasco & The U.N. takes the stage at 8 p.m. June 23. John Moreland’s show will be at 8 p.m. May 9.
Masks will be required for attendees when entering or exiting the venue, when leaving their designated pods and while interacting with venue staff. One-way line systems will keep traffic organized. Strict hygiene protocols include the thorough sanitation of the venue during and after each show.
Jamo Presents has worked closely with the St. Louis health department to obtain approval on these plans.
Tickets are available on Jamo Presents’ website, which are sold in seated group pod arrangements ranging in capacity to accommodate 2-6 people.
“Seventeen of the first 24 indoor shows at City Foundry sold out,” said Drew Jameson of Jamo Presents. “There aren’t many places out there right now in the country where you can see live music up to four nights a week in a socially distanced setting – especially outdoors.”
