http://pad.newham.gov.uk/AnitePublicDocs/18218928.pdf John King comments: The London Olympic opening ceremony is on 27th July. No thanks to Newham Council's unhelpful licensing dept, the Olympic Stadium is NOT licensed for performances of plays (therefore criminalising poetry reading, mime, juggling and so on), nor is it licensed for "facilities for making music", which would make playing of national anthems through the stadium PA illegal. The Live Music Act will remove the requirement to licence entertainment facilities at the stadium, but not if DCMS don't implement the Act by the time it opens.
