The "Protecting Outdoor Concerts Act of 2025" mandates the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to implement new or revised regulations for establishing temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) around outdoor music festivals. These TFRs would apply to both manned and unmanned aircraft , aiming to enhance safety for attendees and prevent unsafe air traffic congestion. The Administrator must issue these regulations within one year of the bill's enactment, specifically targeting festivals with a daily attendance of not fewer than 30,000 people . The FAA is directed to treat these events similarly to how aerial demonstrations or major sporting events are handled under existing regulations for manned aircraft, and to designate airspace for unmanned aircraft consistent with current law.
