Over 20,000 attend full capacity Foo Fighters concert in New York
Jun 21 2021 Share

Following the lifting of COVID-19 health measures last week, more than 20,000 people gathered in New York to watch the Foo Fighters at a full capacity event. The event in Madison Square Garden allowed the whopping guest amount for the first time since the pandemic started. With over 70% of adults in New York vaccinated with at least one dose, the measures were lifted off commercial businesses, social settings, sports and recreation events, construction, manufacturing and retail.

There were no social distancing or mask requirements regulations at the 8:00 pm concert. The concertgoers however had to be fully vaccinated in order to attend, with everyone showing proof of this at the door. These rules did prompt some protest from anti-vaxxers, but the concert went on as part of the Foo Fighters’ delayed 25th anniversary tours.

Parliamentary Secretary for Sport, Recreation and Voluntary Organisations Clifton Grima announced that the St. Julians Waterpolo Club will be financially benefitting from an International Participation scheme and a Technical Equipment scheme administered by SportMalta. The Parliamentary Secretary stated how in the last few years, several sports sectors benefitted greatly thanks to Sport Malta. Apart from direct investments into Maltese athletes with a sum of €5 million, Sport Malta has also allocated more than €800,000 into assisting sport organisations.

Clifton Grima stated how it is the government’s duty to work and persist in getting Maltese sports ambassadors to represent the nation in foreign countries. The work, therefore, must continue, as the work in aquatic sports continues in order to fulfil the electoral promise made in regards to waterpolo.

President of the St. Julians ASC Peter Bonavia welcomed the aid with open arms and thanked SportMalta and the government for the assistance. He stated how through these funds, the club could invest in new and better equipment, whilst also being able to travel and train in training camps which serve as crucial experience for the youth.
