That seems to be true for most gigs unfortunately. I was at my first gig a few weeks ago and nearly everyone was masked up - until the support act came on and they all took them off. I tried to keep mine on as long I could but wasn't the best environment for it by the time the main act was on.
That venue's rules were masks on "unless you're eating, drinking or dancing" and people chose to interpret dancing liberally (nor has
any venue I've been asked for proof of a negative lateral flow so far).
My friend was at the Glasgow McFly gig today and she said they had 'Little Tom' fill in? Apparently he's 17 years old, was very good and 'knew the songs better than Danny'

(EDIT: Twitter/Google tells me it was Tom Absigold from Chapter 13, the band from BGT.)
