Fans at the Sam Fender concert at the Virgin Money Unity Arena, a pop-up venue in Gosforth Park, Newcastle, watched the outdoor concert in groups of up to five people from 500 separate raised metal platforms.
Promoters described the event as the world’s first socially-distanced gig. Some people thought the layout looked great, while others were not so sure.
