Still got the 2021 event on my upcoming events on Songkick; had a quick check of their socials and they haven't posted a thing since last October
That's a pretty bad omen, isn't it?
-
The fact that Download and RnL have updated on 1st March leads me to suspect that whatever info is released will be applying to all Live Nation festivals aka cancellation. They probably should scrap the events they're currently uncertain about and get to work on several socially distanced events they can almost guarantee will go ahead.

Hellfest postponed to 2022, all but confirmed now
-
Cancelled my hotel for Download about a week ago; just waiting for the inevitable now

Me and my mate want to go reading. Trying to convince two others to go but they say it's not worth the money We are all 16, how fun is it and is it worth the money even if your not into all the music
Honestly, I wouldn't risk it at the moment
I know that someone mentioned that there is a rap stage, but we don't know what the stage set up is going to be like for 2021, or if the event will even go ahead
You would think that it'd be a dead cert to get your money back, but it's possible that if restrictions are still in place by next summer that the whole operation could go under which means you and your friends losing out
If you want to go to see a particular act I'd say buy a day ticket but wait until live events start happening again before you make a commitment

How can that be dragged over 2 days?
Looks like there's only going to be one stage; hopefully that keeps the costs down
EDIT: Just seen on the official website that it's £55 per day. A non-starter really.

I'd be interested in seeing Pendulum if they start putting some effort in to their stage production again rather than using Windows Media Player visualizations as their backdrop
Their shows at Wembley in 2010 were fantastic and I'd love to see them back up to that standard

Whilst they are still headlining arenas like the O2 and Manchester Arena, that just isn't going to happen.
Stereophonics played both those venues on their last tour and headlined Kendal Calling in 2017
Biffy are of course a bit different in that they are established major festival headliners, but it does feel like they're running out of options to maintain that status
The last time they headlined Download they reportedly played to a smaller crowd than Rob Zombie on the 2nd stage and their booking for 2021 has been met with universal indifference
Of course they could potentially headline Isle of Wight again, but they share headliners with the like of Kendal Calling already so I wouldn't really see them being booked for APE, Kendal, Truck, etc. as that much of a drop

That's why I said in my post that they aren't significantly smaller than they have been in the last decade, 2013 included. It isn't like they've had some Bullet For My Valentine-esque fall from grace (a crude example, especially for R&L, but they're the first example that popped into my head).
The fact that they are headlining Download and would still play and sell out the O2 on a normal sized tour is testament to the above point. A band of that size aren't going to start headlining smaller festivals any time soon (nor ever, imo). You said yourself that they are a safe booking for the major festivals, which is true and is exactly where I think they will stay until they call it a day. They are a safe headliner who are plenty big enough, like many other bands who will always remain in the major festival headliner bracket.
To be fair, with the fact that Catfish are headlining RnL whilst also headlining a mid range festival in Warrington, if the current stage format is kept beyond 2021 I expect to see some acts bounce between headlining Kendal Calling, All Points East etc. and then RnL the next
I don't think it's out of the question to see Biffy become one of those acts in the next few years

If Melvin is so confident in this full capacity plan why would they only have 3 stages?
To save millions of pounds on artist fees and logistics

is this right, stone roses dropped out of r&l in 96 so never played it
They didn't drop out but did practically disintegrate on stage if that counts for anything
-
Had my refund email through; sad to claim it but hopefully will be buying tickets again once I know what plans next summer involves, if any
-
I can see RATM touring the US in 2021 and touring overseas in 2022
The music industry is beginning to recognise that we really are in this for the long haul and there's not much point planning the logistics of a tour only to reschedule it once again
-
Kaleidoscope has now been postponed to 2021; Groove Armada already rebooked
-
404 Guild have released their debut album
FFO: Massive Attack, Loyle Carner, Burial, Slowthai

Irrespective of 2000trees making it through this year I reckon that they're really going to struggle in the future
The niche they decided to focus on is steadily going out of fashion and appears to cross over more with Slam Dunk each passing year
As Slam Dunk's capacity and buying power increases it's going get increasingly difficult for Trees to compete and operate
-
£44 for The Streets and some very decent acts that are bound to turn up on the undercard is more than reasonable
I'd rather variety than having Stereophonics turn up every other year

What would a realistic "My Chemical Romance" day look like?
Not that, because it's not Download and it's not 2007

I think Liam Gallagher's appeal is so ubiquitous that FR believe that he will still be a draw for both events
I also believe that the two events are marketed towards more separate demographics than previously; RnL is very focused on the 16 - 21 market, whereas Latitude appears to be veering slightly more towards Radio 2 than Radio 6 (Keane subbing your festival will do that, even if it is under The Chemical Brothers)
LG is perfect for both camps; fun for all the family, unless you're his girlfriend, in which case look out for the grapple hand

Cheers Raw
sorry to ask another question whats the general camping area like is there enough room like at end of the road or do you have to get there early for a good spot?
I didn't camp myself but from the look of it there was plenty of space
-
Car park isn't too far from the campsite and you can bring a camping stove up to 500g
Had an incredible time this year; it's well worth a go
-
Went for the day and I had a lovely time; wonderful crowd, lots of families, great food and generally just a really relaxed atmosphere
-
Been keeping my eye on this festival for a little while; is there any advice or particular pointers you'd give to someone attending for the first time?
Any food stalls you'd recommend?
Got my fingers crossed for Manics and Primals; although I'm not sure if that's asking for too much
-
Rudimental played two nights at Ally Pally, Bloc Party performing Silent Alarm sold out Ally Pally in about a femtosecond, New Order are still a big draw and a more exciting booking than someone like Elbow or Stereophonics
My local council are putting on a Rudimental DJ SET in Rochester Castle Gardens and are charging £50 for the privilege; Victorious is still the best value event in the country by far
I think the headliners of the calibre of Biffy Clyro and Kasabian will come very soon, but that will probably be followed by a £10 price hike

Kaleidoscope Festival
in other UK festivals
Posted
Had a brilliant time here last weekend; bars were busy but I imagine that the pingdemic had summat to do with it
The Coral and Groove Armada were both on top form, proper party
