So just in case anyone is wondering what it's like to go to an NHS staff, vaccine-passport-requiring gig, here's what happened at Gorillaz. I couldn't get the NHS app to work so I approached an O2 staff member and explained this and showed him my vaccine card which is in my phone case. He said that was fine and asked for my ticket. As I was pulling up the AXS app for my ticket I indicated towards my Blue Light Card which was also in my phone case, but he didn't really seem bothered. They didn't ask for any other proof of either vaccine or NHS staff status. No idea if it'll be like this in Cardiff but it was remarkably stress free!
