Just like lots of our fellow festivals and events, Boardmasters Festival will ask all ticket holders aged 11 and over to demonstrate their COVID-19 status via the NHS COVID Pass upon arrival at the festival gates before entering, by providing ONE of the following:
✔️ Proof of a negative Lateral Flow Test taken within 24 hours of arrival at the festival gates
OR
✔️ Proof of being vaccinated with both doses (with the second dose being received at least 14 days before the festival)
OR
✔️ Proof of natural immunity following a positive PCR test (providing it has been at least 10 days since your PCR test and up to 180 days after taking the test)
Camping ticket holders will also be required to take a second NHS Lateral Flow Test during the event on Friday 13th August and log their results in the NHS COVID Pass. Camping ticket holders must bring Lateral Flow Tests with them to take at the festival.
My guess is that if they crank up the sensitivity of the PCR test enough, they'll find Covid all over my shoes and even the front bumper of my car. And, no, I haven't run over or kicked any covid positive folks either.
Maybe this is the epic failure we've been waiting for...

Of course, they may just recommend another shot of their magic potion...
What about Kabul, Afganistan, I don't see too many there wearing face masks....

They used similar entrance criteria at Boardfest...and now they have thousands of cases.
