6,000 clubbers will return to the dancefloor in Liverpool this month, to participate in a covid-secure event trial.
On the 30th April and 1st May, 3,000 people will attend Liverpool s Bramley-Moore Dock each day for two of DJ and producer Yousef s Circus events, allowing the ERP to study club environments and coronavirus. People who want to attend must live within a Liverpool postcode and will be subject to rapid coronavirus testing prior to the event, as well as a second test some time after the event.
Claire McColgan MBE, Director of Culture and Tourism in Liverpool previously told the Liverpool Echo: Liverpool is an event city. They are a critical part of our economy, culture and community and so we are delighted to be working with partners across Government, our colleagues at University of Liverpool and a number of local venues and promoters to plan this series of pilot events.
A London club photography project titled Let Us Dance has been launched to raise awareness of the impact COVID-19 has had on the nightlife industry, and to help raise funds for the Night Time Industries Association.
Photographers and Khroma Collective co-founders Jake Davis & Rob Jones joined together during lockdown to document over 40 of London’s most iconic nightclubs and venues, which have largely remained shuttered since March 2020 due to coronavirus.
Shot on medium format film, and taking the project s name from the #LetUsDance campaign, Davis and Jones cycled around the capital to take photos of clubs at the time they d normally be opening their doors for a weekend of punters, and have produced prints of clubs across the capital to raise funds for the NTIA.
Support for the live music industry ‘must continue’ ahead of planned reopening, sector spokespeople say.
After almost 12 months of shuttered clubs and music venues, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave hope to the sector in a press conference yesterday (22nd), announcing that nightclubs across the country could be reopened as soon as the 21st June.
In response to the possible reopening dates, which will only go ahead if the government s four conditions are met at each phase of lockdown easing, workers, organisations and spokespeople for the UK s live music and night time economy have urged the government to continue providing financial support to the sector.
