Bare-mouthed Brits are partying like their lives depend on it.<\/p>\n

A multi-event festival took place over the weekend as part of ongoing research organized by the UK\u2019s Events Research Programme<\/a> to examine the risk of coronavirus transmission in large public gatherings.<\/p>\n

Admission to the state-sponsored events required proof of a negative COVID-19 test prior to attendance, plus health monitoring after the shows, adding much-needed data as many nations prepare to resume social<\/a> life in the aftermath of the pandemic. <\/p>\n

Masks and vaccines were not required for entry.<\/p>\n

The pilot events over the weekend saw more than 10,000 maskless revelers from Liverpool descend on their city for what included two indoor raves and an outdoor concert. <\/p>\n

About 3,000 packed into Liverpool\u2019s warehouse-arena Bramley-Moore Dock on both Friday and Saturday nights. Acts included headliner Fatboy Slim and other electronic musicians. <\/p>\n

Despite the indoor setting, guests were not required to wear masks. On Sunday, some 5,000 turned up at a Sefton Park stage to watch British indie rockers Blossoms, the Lathums and singer-songwriter Zuzu.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is a momentous occasion to celebrate as fans get their first taste of a music festival for more than a year \u2014 and all in the name of science<\/a>,\u201d said Minister of Culture Caroline Dinenage in a statement on Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A soccer cup semifinal at Wembley Stadium on April 24 was also included in the ERP\u2019s study<\/a>, garnering another 8,000 research participants and sports fans, as well as events to come such as the BRIT Awards in London on May 11. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re one step closer to a summer of live events now our science-led program is underway,\u201d said Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden in a separate statement<\/a>. \u201cTesting different settings and looking at different mitigations is key to getting crowds back safely and the Sefton Park pilot is an important addition to the program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Liverpool\u2019s director of public health, Matt Ashton, \u201cThis data can then be used to help shape how the entire events sector can safely reopen, both locally and nationally.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
