Download Festival is ‚100 per cent evidence‘ that big music events can take place safely says organiser after 10,000 rock fans enjoyed three-day party

Crowds, who had to provide a negative PCR test before arrival, were allowed to mosh and hug at the camping-only festival as they were freed from strict Covid regulations while onsite.

But the rock and metal event‘s capacity was reduced by 90 per cent from 111,000 to around 10,000 as it was allowed to run as a smaller pilot event rather than being cancelled for the second year running.
