Sadly, I must report that due to the spike in coronavirus cases both locally and nationally the Palladium has chosen to cancel all live performances for the time being.
In October, when we returned to limited live performances following a complete shutdown in March, our pledge to our audiences was that they would be safe coming to a show at the Palladium. That meant limited ticket sales, social distancing, masks for everyone, and no intermissions to avoid lines at concessions and bathrooms. It worked.
But we also pledged to follow CDC guidelines, which encourages live shows like ours when the infection rate is below five percent. For October, the rate in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County met that criteria. That is no longer the case.
If you’d like to help get the Palladium back open, please encourage your friends, your family and your political leaders to act responsibly and do everything they can to keep this virus in check until a vaccine is available.

This is really too bad because you had developed a good plan to use the upstairs in lieu of the Side Door. Fortunately, I was able to attend the last one. Too bad so many people will just not use common sense and then put others at risk and inconvenience many.
Really sorry to hear that you had to cancel the concerts due to the rise in the virus. I think it is the smart thing to do. Really missing live music and feeling really bad for all those performers that are unable to work.
