UK clubbers set to return to Liverpool for trial night
Clubbers are returning to the dance floor for the first time since the pandemic began, as part of a trial event to see how venues can reopen.
Some 3,000 people will party at a warehouse in Liverpool on both Friday and Saturday.
Ticket-holders don’t need to socially distance or wear face coverings, but they’ll need a negative Covid test result before being allowed in.
Organizers have stressed the events do not carry a risk to public health.
The First Dance event, which is part of the government’s Events Research Programme, will be at the Bramley-Moore Dock warehouse.
Sven Väth, the Blessed Madonna and Jayda G are all performing on Friday night, with Fatboy Slim headlining the Saturday night event.
Perts will use the event to look at whether crowds mixing and dancing indoors increases transmission of the virus.
Coronavirus has crippled the nightclub industry, with a recent report finding UK clubs have been forced to make 51% of their staff redundant since last year. In comparison, bars and pubs have axed 32% and 25% of their workers respectively.
