The UK’s first socially distanced gig happened in Newcastle last night.
500 separate raised metal platforms, each accommodating up to five people from the same family/household. Hand sanitizer station and mini fridge included. Singing allowed too! pic.twitter.com/49pp1EnVFj

Last night,
Newcastle, England.
Essential or absurd?
YOU decide.

pro – you don’t get to stand behind the biggest guy there and the resulting gig is akin to just watching telly in a field.
con – it’s watching telly in a field.
How sad it is to be young in the new social distancing covid world
Maybe it will be like the twelve monkeys
Maybe just return back to what life was like and take the chance and just wear a mask when out
Look at New Zealand
They kept it out and now it’s in
And it will spread
Let’s examine the way Sweden is now as they did not sacrifice their economy and take stock
hey, why don’t we drink some bleach?
No, they just sacrificed their elderly. Thank heavens their population is so spread out. It could have been so much worse. As recent research has shown that antibodies don’t last more than three months, it wasn’t worth it. As for the economy, as its land borders were all closed, there will definitely have been an economic impact. Even post couldn’t get through. Sweden did not do well.
that comment is so misinformed and behind the curve its almost comical
is a little whiz through the rail allowed?
over or under only
it reminds me of A Momentary Lapse of Reason….
that’s called being pished
Anddddd we’re back to Barry’s Hotel 1988 again.
is this a ‘clamper’s ma’ story?
It’s more of a Wayne Rooney story unfortunately.
Fair play to them for getting that kind of setup to work, but I’d like to know how they managed crowds at the entrance or going for the jacks and pints
Holy God.
Its better than nothing if it helps out the Live Music scene
No thanks.
What would you prefer? No gig?
For me, yes, that is what I would prefer… for myself.
That is why I kindly said ‘no thanks’.
OK, that’s fair enough.
Assembling and taking apart all those platforms, though.
Not the most attractive sort of work (shudders).
‘Sadstock’ seems a little harsh. I’d have gone for ‘Livestock’
– on account of it looking like a giant cattle mart
