Would you feel safe enough to go to a concert again? One UK venue thinks they have a solution. Inside the making of the world's 'first dedicated socially distanced music venue.'
Conceptually, the experience isn’t dissimilar from Live Nation’s recent spate of drive-in concerts, which finds fans parking their cars facing the stage with their own socially distanced pod spaces to lounge in. But attendees for the U.K. shows will instead park further away and walk in socially distanced queues to their own separate viewing platforms. The “arena,” formally a horse racecourse, can fit 20,000 people, but the venue will allow a maximum 2,500 people to uphold safety standards.
Organizers are keeping track of how many tickets have been designated for each platform to keep attendees within their own groups, and while Davis acknowledges it’s difficult to completely stop people from visiting other platforms, those who do risk getting kicked out of the venue. latest developments regarding localised lockdowns means it has become impossible for us to continue with the series with any confidence.”
“During the time of lockdown, we’ve been presented with a number of different ideas and solutions, and some were rubbish, some were ok, some are well thought through. In the instance of the gigs we’re doing at Newcastle, they look very well-organized and well thought through,” Bianchi says. “As long as people are actually making money, money is a lesser issue than if these shows will be any good or not. I don’t know because we haven’t seen it yet.
