Live music returns to Central Florida as popular venue reopens

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The Daytona Beach Bandshell reopened with live music on Saturday.

City council gave the venue permission to reopen, allowing a summer concert series to fill the beachside venue. Concerts will be held there throughout the summer and into October.

While the venue can hold about 5,000 people, only about 1,300 people will reportedly be allowed in. Even fewer people will be allowed at the first concerts.
