The long-awaited return of live music in Kelowna is being put on hold due to new provincial health orders, but one live concert series will still be streamed online.

The Rebellious Unicorns Production Company series ѻýLive @ The KCT (Kelowna Community Theatre)ѻý is cancelling the in-person component of the scheduled shows until at least Dec. 7 ѻý the date the new health directives will either expire or be extended.

ѻýWe are extremely disappointed about the provinceѻýs decision to extend the public gathering ban to events like Live @ The KCT,ѻý said Dustyn Baulkham, executive producer at Rebellious Unicorns and Unicorns.LIVE.

ѻýThis is just one more hurdle in a frustrating exercise to put artists back to work and provide live entertainment for the public.ѻý

The series was scheduled to have two live performances on each event night, with a maximum of 50 people per show in the 800-plus seat theatre with COVID-19 protocols in place.

Instead, one live 45-to-60-minute show will now be live-streamed without an audience at 7 p.m. for each show.

Performances in the concert series are set to begin on Nov. 25 and are scheduled through mid-January 2021. Acts currently scheduled to appear at the KCT are: ; ; ; ; ; and .
