LONDON (Reuters) - Some 4,000 people will attend the BRIT Awards next month, in what organisers of Britain s pop music honours said would be the first major indoor music event with a live audience as the country emerges from COVID-19 lockdown.
The ceremony, to be held on May 11 at London s O2 arena, will form part of the UK government’s Events Research Programme, looking at whether major events can take place in closed environments without social distancing.
This means audience members, of which 2,500 will be key workers who will be gifted tickets, will not have to wear face masks inside the arena but will have to provide proof of a negative lateral flow test result to enter the venue.
