Planes and drones could face temporary no-fly limits over major outdoor concerts and music festivals. The rule would apply to events with at least 30,000 people per day, and the FAA would have one year to set the details.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Protecting Outdoor Concerts Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Subcommittee on Aviation.
Latest action on H.R. 2887: Referred to the Subcommittee on Aviation.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects pilots, drone operators, and organizers of very large outdoor concerts and music festivals. Pilots and drone users may have to avoid restricted airspace during covered events. Event organizers may need to plan around FAA notices and airspace limits. Nearby communities and businesses could also feel changes if aircraft have to reroute around an event.
Why this matters: Large outdoor music events can pack tens of thousands of people into one area, and nearby aircraft can create safety risks. This bill would push the FAA to set clearer rules for when planes and drones should stay away. It could make event airspace safer and easier to manage. The final impact would depend on how the FAA writes the rules and where it applies them.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
