Taipei, June 27 (CNA) The 2020 Golden Melody Awards ceremony, Taiwan's equivalent of the Grammys, will be held Oct. 3 at the soon to be inaugurated Taipei Music Center, the Ministry of Culture's Bureau of Audiovisual and Music Industry Development said Saturday.

The awards ceremony, which was slated to be held June 27, was postponed in April because of the country's social distancing and crowd management regulations at the time due to the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

Taiwan has been gradually easing its COVID-19 restrictions since June 7, when it recorded 56 straight days without any domestically transmitted infections.

The decision to hold the ceremony at the Taipei Music Center in the city's Nangang District was made because the newly constructed venue will be able to provide exciting ceremony content, the bureau said in a statement.    [FULL  STORY]
