CORONAVIRUS

Following the Omicron outbreak in late 2021, a few new rules have applied to the countries of the UK.

England will lift the "Plan B" restrictions imposed since December, meaning that facemasks will no longer be compulsory in indoor spaces from Thursday, 27th January.

The same applies for COVID passes which will no longer be mandatory for entry to nightclubs and large venues as of 27th January.

In Scotland, until Monday 24th January, Coronavirus vaccination certificates will be required to enter certain events and higher risk venues, such as nightclubs, music festivals and some football grounds.

In Wales, nightclubs and large indoor venues will once again be allowed to reopen after Friday, 28th January, when "level 0" rules will come back into force.

In Northern Ireland, nightclubs have been closed from 27th December and social distancing measures are still in force for indoor, but not outdoor events.

The Republic of Ireland, as of 20th December, no indoor events are allowed past 8pm. Capacity restrictions are still in place for indoor events and you will need proof of your Covid vaccine status/ antibodies.

As you can imagine, all of the above are subject to reviews of the data and will depend on how the UK/ Republic of Ireland is doing.

For international artists, there is still the problem of travel and local restrictions in their/ your country which means some events will be postponed until such time that they may leave their/ enter your country.
