OMG: UK’s first socially distanced gig, a must see!
The UK recently held its first socially distanced gig in Newcastle where attendees have their own private viewing area with 2m of space between them.
Did someone say when in lockdown you can't do anything? Well, a video has caused some sought of excitement and concern around social media.

In the video, it shows people at a gig, but they are seated in their own private space which is about 2m away from the next person, in what looks like an elevated open cage, but this one seems pretty fancy.
People are clearly over being stuck inside with global lockdown regulations.
This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen. People watching a rock concert sitting in contained areas 🤣 I’m living in Sweden and everything is completely as normal, no masks/sd or none of that madness. How come when we kept open the whole time Covid missed us? 😉
It’s better than nothing and a hell of allot of hard work has gone into setting this up. I would go to a gig like this x
Can I get this option at concerts when the pandemic is over?
Watch video below to see the gig setup:
