Rekcon if the next few weeks are bad they might introduce it early so it allows buissnesses to stay open 

Venues are able to use it from now of course. So I wouldn't be surprised if loads got ahead of it and started asap

I'd feel far more comfortable at the moment doing it that way in all honesty

Yeah it's the only way (and I say that as someone who'd miss out on two festivals if it came in now) 

As double jabbed can still pass it on occasionally, it makes sense if only double jabbed pass it to each other if that makes sense

As has been said this is more than enough warning now so I reckon most will take this on board earlier on than leave it 2 months

Good news about the double jabbed gigs/festivals/large sporting events but I hope it doesn’t come in sooner than September as I have 2 festivals and 3 gigs in August that I want to attend and my 2nd jab isn’t until the end of August so hoping they keep the negative test as an entry option for now as it would be a bit unfair on people that haven’t even had the chance to have both doses yet.

It would be unfair on you, but not me as I made  my own decision to wait for my first for various reasons. 

I won't ever use my vaccine passport so I'm hoping for a few weeks reprieve before it actually comes in! 

To be fair I can guarantee I'll get Leeds in as they won't be doing it considering the demographic legitimately won't have all had chance

I’m guessing this news has come out now because it gives people a fair amount of time to go get vaxed before it comes in to play. No excuses come end of September - if you didn’t get vaxed then that’s on you.

I don't understand why they've not reduced the Pfizer/Moderna gap down to 4 weeks yet, and I wouldn't rule out that it happens before your second dose is due. It would be pretty harsh to announce something like this, and then not give people adequate time to realise "oh shit, I really do need to do this" and to get a jab (at worst) this week in order to get fully done in time for the gig they've been looking forward to.

The 10-12, then 8 week gaps made perfect sense at the time - it helped to get more people (partially) covered sooner, the longer gap actually improved protection for AZ, and it was sensible to have a consistent set of messaging across the different products out there. But now that it's well over 8 weeks since we last gave AZ first doses (at least on any widespread basis), it's time to bring it down.

Yeah this definitely a nudge to the 18-30 year olds to get them jabbed.

100% the right thing to do.

Im glad they're going with the passport system but I do think negative tests should be included as a compromise 

I disagree. If you have a negative test on an LFT system there is 50% chance it could just be wrong. It's a waste of time unless it's a proper covid test.

A local venue to me,  The Waterfront Norwich, is using Covid passports (tests/vaccine/immunity) from this Friday for their gigs and club nights

Wow I really like the look of the Saturday Brandi Carlile, Margo Price and Sleater-Kinney 👌

I'm interested to know how this covid passport is going down with the groups its intended to drive jab uptake in. This is a generation used to bringing an actual passport or driving licence on a night out with them, ready to be deployed in case they look younger than 27. And in certain venues, they're having their photo ID projected onto a wall and scanned into a computer.

Just been press ganged by my Dad into accompanying him to see Genesis at the O2 as the rearranged dates meant he had no-one to go with.

First gig in 18 months will be Phil fucking Collins.

Weak.

Other side of the pond but Kanye West has an album listening party tomorrow evening at the Mercedes Benz Arena in Atlanta, GA and he's also been confirmed for Rolling Loud Festival in Miami. It sounds like there could be more announcements to come.

There’s also a cherry picker by the pyramid stage on the webcam. 
 

Too much of a coincidence in my book. He’s coming back.

Something we all hold so dear. Performing inside the Pyramid didn't go so well last time eh?

He’s even drawn a tiny Lee Nelson clambering onto the stage…

Yup. Warren Ellis.

Just posted the dates but they seem to have vanished.
