Speaking to the Evening Standard this week, culture secretary Oliver Dowden said of test events so far: “Overall, it has been a real success.” He said just 15 Covid-19 cases had been detected among a total of 58,000 attendees across events including the Brit awards and the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield. Promoters Festival Republic previously staged a one-day test event in Liverpool on 2 May, headlined by Blossoms. The event will form part of the government’s ongoing testing around large-scale events, so attendees are expected to camp on site for the duration, show a negative lateral flow test to gain entry, and take a PCR test before and afterwards. Tickets are available from 1 June for fans with tickets to the 2022 festival (rolled over from the cancelled 20 editions), and from 3 June for everyone else. It will be the first event of its kind to take place since restrictions around the pandemic started to relax.
