Unlocked Fest 2021 set to go ahead at Newark Showground with socially distanced format | Updated: 14:10, 08 March 2021 A nearby festival is set to go ahead later this year with a new socially distanced format in place. With a detailed roadmap now published, organisers of the aptly named Unlocked Fest have been given the green light to go ahead from June 18 to 20 at Newark Showground. Socially distanced pods, for up to four or six people will fill the festivalâs main arena. Against the backdrop of a huge main stage, on par with what youâd expect at a major festival, it will include a state-of-the-art lighting, sound and video package.
