MOSH pits returned to Britain at the weekend — for the first time since Covid rocked the nation.

The event, held across three days in Leicestershire, saw rock bands including Bullet For My Valentine and Enter Shikari take to the stage.
It was the UK’s first music festival since the start of the coronavirus pandemic and is part of the government’s Events Research Programme.
Ticket holders had to provide a negative test before being allowed on site at the festival and were required to take another afterwards.
The testing system meant party-goers were able to ditch social distancing and masks but only a fraction of the usual 100,000 strong crowd could attend.
Other big events in the government’s research programme include The Brit Awards last month – where no Covid-19 cases were reported afterwards.
