MASSES of maskless Brits have packed out a non-socially distanced outdoor music festival in Liverpool.
Some 5,000 excited partygoers arrived at Sefton Park today for the pilot event as the UK sets its sights on returning to normality with the government navigating the country out of the coronavirus pandemic.
The idea of the national Events Research Programme is to provide data on how gatherings can be permitted to safely reopen as restrictions ease.
It is hoped the events will pave the way for festivals across the country to kick start again.
Thousands of buzzing revellers were pictured this afternoon after lapping up the atmosphere at the pilot - one of the first post-lockdown raves to be held in the UK.
The outdoor gig, which began at 4.30pm today, is being headlined by indie band Blossoms and also featuring The Lathums and Liverpool singer-songwriter Zuzu.
Those attending do not have to wear face coverings or social distance, but were required to take a lateral flow test 24 hours before the event and produce a negative result in order to release their e-ticket.
They are then asked to take another test five days after the event and submit the results.
