The Unum Festival is in partnership with Swallow Events who have made it possible for the concerts to be Covid-19 secured and Swallow Events will be the company to provide the rapid testing services for the event.

We are taking all measures required to ensure safety measures are followed at all times and there will be zero tolerance on this matter.”
As the first to attempt this, The Unum Festival will be setting the stage quite literally for what the future of live in-person music will become and there have ensured their show-goers that it will be safe to purchase tickets today.
