If we're going to be fully open as the government are insisting why do they need more pilots after the deadline has passed?
Exactly my thoughts mate ! Obviously freedom isn’t exactly going to be freedom!

You better pack your coat then 😀 because it was a licence they applied for in 2020 so if July starts to look dodgy they could well apply for the event to move to Sept again.
wasnt for festival though it was for something else as you can see by the application

Seeming like it could possibly go ahead. Thought for certain it might be off after the Bluedot announcement. Got tickets from last year but in two minds about going as the line up just isn't really doing it for me but hard to turn down a festival after so long away.
How likely do people think it is that this will go ahead?
It’s on as far as I’m aware as long as there is no caps on capacity and the signs are we open up fully as from mid June .
line up ............... seems to me they have cheapened it all . And is Joel Corey really there Idris Elba been on the line up a few times and never ever showed .
mainstage moving this year as well so layout will be different.

It’s all at the door of Boris and Rishi

Its slightly different circumstances. From The Fields run both events but they don't own both events. They are like a contractor for Kendal, they book and organise it but don't finance it. I've got a feeling over the coming weeks July events will start getting cancelled or rescheduled. Its getting to a point when events will have to start paying out and making deposits yet there is no concrete dates or end in sight. I can't imagine them wanting to take risks especially when there is no covid related insurance.
Bit unfair that statement really mate this is factually correct.
“Superstruct owns 60 per cent of the business, while the remaining 40 per cent is owned by AndySmith and fellow co-founder Ben Robinson.”
Superstruct have decided with all there festivals to proceed as if there events post mid June will be going ahead , not sure if this is still true though as line ups for some are still not announced, my opinion is this covid passport could be a lifesaver for large events if you wanna go you get a vaccine you take a test you prove you’ve been positive it’s simple , but there’s 2 many tin foil wearing 5G signal boosting weirdos out there to embrace it I would think ! Conspiracy theories every where 😂
As for bluedot there are a collection of people that will make the decision not just from the fields I would presume ie Jodrell Bank , Manchester university and maybe even Engine number 4 or what ever they changed their name to when ground control was rebranded probably just way to much risk for what’s a fairly new festival that’s probably not as financially established as say superstruct which is a hedge funded company

Folk have been moaning about kendal lineups for years, for its no different this year. Can not see me going but Supergrass and stereophonics are good bookings. Some might argue about the thursday headliner, but the last 2 have been Oribital and Hacienda Classical and they are hardly current.
Hope it goes ahead..
Yeah I hope it goes ahead I honestly feel vaccine passport app showing your negative could be the way out of this , but my gut feeling is this festival and any other one in July will probably fail to get open , I think September ones have a bigger chance full capacity gigs and football fans back for start of premiership ! You know this government like the big statement!
as for the line up it’s a typical Kendal line up and as you say people always moan they also still go and keep going back which proves there’s a lot more to the festival than just the headline acts , what does disappointment is that all of the headers are at least 12 years past being relevant ! I’ve decided to pass on this year but I sincerely hope the weather finally gives the organisers and the fans a break and the sun shines all weekend and they have a great time .

They've tweeted that "no news is good news" today. So being positive or trying to get money off people?
I’ve been told on good authority the line up is booked and good , take the good bit with a pinch of salt though they book the hotpots every year !
I checked price of tickets today 209 quid including Thursday entry and a parking ticket, don’t know if that includes the deathly ticketline booking fee though didn’t go that far .

I’m not seeing ‘proof of vaccination’ being the way forward. I think it’s all about rates of infection and hospitalisation.....as vaccination increases, infection rates and hospitalisation rates decrease. That’s the way out and a return to normality for me. Not proof of vaccination
Problem is organisers know there will procedures and restrictions but the government won’t tell them what they are going to be ! You could organise and sell out Kendal book a line up on 35k ticket sales then come end of June get told they can only have 50 % capacity which would make it in a loss situation.

You could be right, as far as I'm aware none of Superstruct festivals have announced the lineup as of yet(truck, tramlines, kendal, southwest in the UK).
Standon calling are superstruct I think .

Gonna say this now controversial I know but Kendal won’t happen this year ! The fact the government has extended furlough tells its own story.

I have had my 1st jab, 2nd will be next month. More concerned with the potential amount of people there who might not have had theirs though. Maybe I am being overly risk averse but decision made.
You guys in your 80’s have been lucky to get in quick good to hear your all sorted mate.
I honestly feel there could be a lot of disappointment over events in July August! The government have given us a road map out of this but there haven’t yet said what will be the plan for major events with face masks and testing and if you’ve been vaccinated. As you say the 18 to 29 year olds probably won’t have been done and the under 18’s aren’t being done at all .

Don't think they did. Against expectation, it was mostly independents that were given grants.
Off the top of my head, neither LN or AEG, or any of their events got Cultural Recovery grants. The only Festivals owned by a major company that did are were Love Supreme (owned by Universal Music) and some of the Superstruct events.
Though there's another round of grants due to be announced in a few weeks, so that may change.
Which superstruct?

Live Nation would have been insured for last year, every festival would have had insurance including cancellation insurance.
The issue is as Neil said is that the specific cancellation policy due to communicable dieseases would not have been covered as a geneal rule once Covid was declared a pandemic. It basically null and voids any cancellation, unless they had that specific policy in place.Not even sure Live Nation got any of the ACE grants in the UK, not actually checked the list but would love to know for sure?
Oh and lots of festivsals announcing (and selling out this week) that are not owned by LN.
Yeah I know other festivals have announced mate just saying the 2 obvious ones that have been reported on bbc news .
yes on insurance obviously they would be insured but I was told they were paid out for covid LN in America have also started legals against their insurance over there. Could be BS though which I said.
depends how you look at it on grant payout take a rather large promoter from Manchester errr think of a blur tune they are LN and 342k loads

The insurance they can't get is cancellation insurance where the cancellation is due to covid.
It's not actually a big issue as such, providing the promoter is prepared to carry that risk themselves (although understandably some won't want the risk).
In the end it's just one of many risks a promoter takes on when trying to run an event, and right now the covid risk for midsummer onwards doesn't look too bad.
I could be wrong but I heard live nation were insured for last year add in the financial grants they received from the arts grants it puts them in a total different position to most . Only relevant festivals that have announced this week are live nation owned . As I say I may of been miss informed over insurance
-
Not convinced ! I think Reading and Leeds are being extremely optimistic there is a government think tank being formed to discuss how to make major events covid secure , and if they come up with you must of had a test or the vaccine and take a lateral flow to gain entry i think it could be a logistical nightmare . plus its only a date at the moment if we fail at one of these steps and everything is paused for 5 weeks that would be way to close . If there is a government backed cancelation scheme added then maybe organisers will crack on , its way to risky at present to commit to the loses could be huge
-
Unfortunately I’m saying no , but I also think there won’t be any festivals this year.
large mass gatherings of people can’t / won’t take place until there’s a vaccine.
get used to how you shop because this is it , earliest possible vaccine is September then you gotta vaccinate 80% of the population then they will ease social distance.
factories and building sites and all shops will be allowed to open again but under current social distance guidelines in early May .
festivals and gigs are gone until 2021 .

Sorry if i'm out of the loop but how come The Slow Readers Club have placed so high on the bill? i've only ever heard of them through Kendal mentioning them in previous years, but they've only got 40,000 listeners on Spotify and they're placing higher on the poster than people with millions, what's that about?
They have played a lot over last 3 years , they did mainstage Saturday afternoon about 4ish 1 year I think they have headline the calling out also , they have a bit of a following in the north I think also from the fields ( Kendal ) have booked them for a 1 off gig . They will be on between 5 and 6 mainstage
