The UK’s first major outdoor concert is offering a glimpse of what’s likely to become the norm venues sectioned off into small groups, enabling fans to rock without rolling the COVID-19 dice.
Sam Fender performed for 2,500 people at the Virgin Money Unity Arena in Newcastle Tuesday night, marking what’s believed to be the country’s first socially distanced entertainment event since coronavirus restrictions began.
The outdoor venue’s setup includes 500 separate seating sections with metal barricades, which are for groups of 5 to attend and watch the show.
Tickets reportedly sold out immediately, and photos and videos from Fender’s concert show the crowd cheering and singing along responsibly from their own sections.
