The Virgin Money Unity Arena is the UK's first socially distant outdoor venue, and will be situated at the Newcastle Racecourse in Gosforth Park.

Attendees will have to arrive by car, and will be directed to their own private viewing platform by staff. Refreshments can be pre-ordered and delivered later at the viewing platform during the event. A one-way system will be in place for toilet access, with hand sanitiser dispensers outside each cubicle.

Tickets for shows at the Virgin Money Unity Arena are on sale now. Visit virginmoneyunityarena.com for more information.
