From top: James Vincent McMorrow will play the Iveagh Gardens on June 10; standing concert pods at a recent UK festival
This morning
The Chief Executive of the National Concert Hall has said it is likely that concert-goers attending next week’s event at the Iveagh Gardens will be given antigen tests for Covid-19 before entry.
The outdoor event on 10 June, which will be headlined by James Vincent McMorrow, will be all-standing, with pods marked out to ensure social distancing.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Robert Read said he is honoured to be able to present this “extraordinary concert” and lead the cultural sector and connect audiences with artists again.
Hmm.
Concert goers may get Covid tests before NCH event (RTÉ)

A bin, no?
Ah now you’re just being responsible.

Poubelle?
Geddit? Eh ? Eh?
It would appear Sam Fender may have grossly overestimated his popularity..
Should stick to making guitars.
You’d have to pen me in to stay at a James Vincent McMorrow gig. Looks “fun”
As cover versions go, his “Higher Love” is not bad but….

They should have worded it ‘..will be given FREE antigen tests’. Make the idiot parade feel like they’re getting something cool for nothing…before they get confined to their enclosures, like the obedient sheep they are. Rock’n’Rol!!!!
I suppose it’s a start.
But if they test everyone going in and have them all in pens it’s not really a test of how safe actual gigs are though then?
It’s a test of how successful this extremely controlled environment is.
But, I suppose it’s a start.
How I wish I’d invested in the company that makes those flying bedesteads. I’d be coining it now.
They might be Dinny’s barriers?
Jaykers, that’s grim.
How many in each pod?
The Government have been restricting people’s normal freedoms for so long they just can’t stop. How much will they be paying people to turn up for that, err, gig?
