The United Kingdom has begun preparations to hosts its first indoor live music event as the country comes out of lock down. Britain’s pop music honors will host 4000 people at the O2 arena.
The events will gift 2500 key workers with tickets and members of the audience would not have to wear face masks during the show but will provide proof of a negative lateral flow test results.
The ceremony, to be held on May 11, is part of the UK government’s Events Research Programme, to examine whether major events can take place in closed environments without social distancing.
“This has been a long tough year for everyone” said singer Dua Lipa who is nominated for 4 awards. “I’m delighted the night will honour the key worker heroes who have cared for us so well during that time and continue to do so,”
Under Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s roadmap out of lockdown, entertainment venues can re-open their doors next month.
