'Packed' is usually the term used to describe concerts that are a success. This is clearly one of the many things that has changed in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

Sonu Nigam's The Light concert, held on Friday, August 21, is being touted as the world's first live Bollywood concert with social distancing guidelines.

That means the concert, which took place at the Dubai World Trade Centre, featured temperature checks, face masks, and an ample amount of space between seated audiences.

For a full look at some of the social distancing measures taken, check out the gallery above.

Nigam has previously told The National that the concert is called "The Light" because it is "almost symbolic to the light at the end of the tunnel".

“It is like a harbinger of hope and normalcy in our lives. Thankfully, we are in a beautiful place like Dubai where things are getting better. Of course, we still have to take precautions, follow social distancing, but it is better than most of the world,” he said.
