The Minack Theatre in Cornwall was cited as one venue that can reopen
Open-air gigs, festivals and theatre shows can resume from this weekend, as long as they have "a limited and socially distanced audience", the government has said.
Outdoor performances can go ahead from Saturday, 11 July.
A number of small indoor test events will also take place to help plan how and when venues can begin to reopen.
Those pilot performances will also be socially distanced, and guidelines for indoor venues have been published.
The test events will feature the London Symphony Orchestra at St Luke's Church, as well as performances at the London Palladium and Butlin's holiday parks.
"Our performing artists deserve an audience, and now they will be getting one," Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said.
