Anyone else hoping that McCartney starts his set by introducing Youth to the crowd, blasting through the entire catalogue of The Fireman, followed by a few Killing Joke covers and a 15 minute extended encore of Flaming Pie? Yeah me too. Would be ace that.

Are you not allowed to say anything either ?
I’m not sure to be honest. What the hell - I heard they were in discussion with the Council and Building Control people about building a bridge directly into the site. Making it easier and quicker to get in and out. And making the 37 steps of death optional.

I’ve heard a Worthy View rumour that is pretty headfucking in principle…….

There is a new trader in Liverpool called Desert Island Dumplings that does 100% vegan dumplings that are the nicest things I have ever tasted. And I’m a meat eater! They have been at Jimmy’s on Bold Street and now have a sort of residency at Kazimier Garden. I think they applied - if they are in then that’s me sorted every day!

Campervans

Just realised that west campervan site has gone. Passed me by that. Are there significantly more in East now? Also, The showground one; is it as much of a ball ache as it seems? Getting back and forth.

these guys share stages and personnel with scouse electro masters Oranj son. Best double bill for your money anywhere. This new stuff is top class. -
Chester Pride tomorrow followed by scouse favourites Oranj Son in Wrexham in the evening. Liverpool, North Wales, Chester….. anyone of ‘a certain age’ might have memories of The Jam at Deeside Leisure Centre (“Battle of the Ice Rink” as the local press reported it) flooding back to them! I feel your pain, and recall my own!
-
Festevol on Saturday in Liverpool looks ace. Those two bookends of Kelly Lee Owens and Oranj Son are absolute highlights for the summer for me. Really can’t wait to see them both.

Confirmation of vaccine status can be provided when paying off the remaining amount of the ticket.
I get that, but is there a ‘system’ for it? You are talking about validation of about 150k people from all over the world. And as you say, it might need to be done in about 10 weeks.
-
At some point in the near future (like the next few months) they need to make a decision on the tickets already sold and how they validate the vaccine status of ticket holders. Other festivals next year can factor that into their planning but Glastonbury has sold out and will need to retrospectively find a way of checking status other than ‘on the door’ which clearly can’t work. And there is the added issue of non-UK ticket holders. It feels so unlikely that it can be resolved in the few months between now and the end of 2021 that it will need to be sorted for it to go ahead. The ‘outdoors’ argument won’t stack up with scientific and medical experts who have the tiniest understanding of how packed together the 200k people are at Glastonbury.
-
Festevol at Invisible Wind Factory in August looks really good, especially that first day. Love Kelly Lee Owens, and Working Men’s Club are really growing on me. Throw in Oranj Son, best band in Liverpool at the moment, and it’s not a bad do at all. Great venue as well.

By the 16th of March we will know, Tickets aren’t on sale for Cheltenham yet but registration for getting one is.
Outdoor events will be happening. Just be prepared to be asked to isolate after returning from a large event like this.
100% club is back 😁
Cheltenham can comfortably happen (of sorts) with a 10-20% capacity with meaningful crowd control and social distancing. It won’t be a true indicator of Glastonbury happening.

My experience in the past few weeks, albeit limited, is that even among those who respect opinions and personal space, this goes out of the window after a few drinks. Just been reading on BBC about Chainsmokers gig in New York; people will eventually return to type.

festivals are already going ahead, tho with covid protection measures.
Red Rooster festival has just published what it will be doing:-
http://www.redrooster.org.uk/keeping-you-safe.htmlThat is excellent. Not sure how transferable some of those arrangements are though. Nor how much people will take notice of them. I mentioned on another thread that I went to an outdoor gig locally on Saturday. Really good intentions from everyone there and a start time of 8pm. PA problems meant the band (Oranj Son) didn’t come on til 9:30 by which time everyone was pissed and paying no attention to rules. It was a normal gig in every respect, apart from the fact that I stood miles away!
Behaviour has to match the guidance or the government will just pull the plug. -
Government advisors saying today that sport events - specifically football - will not take place without significantly reduced crowds (maximum 1/3 capacity) until there is a vaccine. Says it is a given that this will affect the whole of the 20/21 season. And no travelling supporters to ensure local control. Are we thinking that rules out festivals until there is a vaccine?

Yeah the horse an jockey, they got closed down last week for something similar and so did another pub called the Travs. Iam not going out to any pubs in Ellesmere port, I've been to a few country pubs instead with their own campsites ... Much quieter 👍🍺🍺🍺
Once this is all over then it is a potentially really good Outdoor venue you know. Problems with the PA meant that they didn’t play til about 9:30 though, by which time everyone was pissed and there was a proper mosh with no social distancing. I stood well back and not sure I’d chance that again. Really good band though- hopefully get to see them at a few outdoor events over the summer.

Just noticed on Twitter that these are doing an outdoor gig in the car park/beer garden of a pub in Ellesmere Port, on the Mersey docks. Given we have had no live music at all round here for months I reckon it’s gonna be rammed (within social distancing rules obviously).

Could well be Parr Street- they record there regularly. Best band in Liverpool at the moment I reckon. That vocal is haunting in the right venue. Every song of theirs is a banger mate.
feel like I jinxed Parr Street. Absolutely awful news this if true.

My favourite two live acts at the moment; BC Camplight, absolute king of the stage bantz, and Oranj Son - 60 mins of bangers followed by ‘thank you’ and off. Both great.
