In recent weeks, concert attendees have been forced to reckon with an uninvited interloper: the delta variant. While some shows have been cancelled, festivals postponed, etc., many venues across the country are responding with vaccine or negative-COVID-test mandates. Many of the new edicts won’t go into effect for another month.

In the meantime, artists and venues alike are encouraging masking and moving shows out of doors.

Here’s what we’re masking up for this week.

Metal

Popular deathcore sextet The Convalescence celebrates ten years of symphonic metalcore with a stop at San Marco’s Jack Rabbits. The Toledo, Ohio natives will have heavy support from a roster of fellow metalheads, including Filth and Blood of Angels. Doors at 7 p.m.
