A number of concerts scheduled to take place in Belfast later this year will require attendees to show proof of their Covid status.
The Belsonic concerts at Ormeau Park and CHSQ at Custom House Square, will both require ticket holders to show proof of having had either, both doses of the vaccine, proof of a negative Covid test 48 hours before arrival or proof of natural Covid antibodies.
Alan Simms of Belsonic Ltd. said: “Demonstrating COVID-19 status is a simple process, which creates a COVID secure environment for our customers, workers and artists alike, and will help to safeguard the future of the events industry.
"The music industry has consistently proven itself to be adept at risk management and these entry conditions are based on the positive findings of the range of ERP (Event Research Programme) pilot events earlier this year in England. Furthermore this entry criteria is already in place for many of the UK’s largest and most respected music festivals and venues."
The entry requires for entering the events are;
Proof of full COVID vaccination - both doses received (with the second at least 14 days prior to the event you are attending).
OR Proof of a negative NHS Lateral Flow Test taken no more than 48 hours prior to your arrival at the event you are attending.
OR Proof of natural COVID antibodies based upon a positive PCR test within 180 days of the event you are attending (including 10 days self-isolation following the result).
