Cruilla haven't confirmed anything AFAICS but at least they're communicating, which is more than Primavera are doing. Primavera's communications are crap, is this news to anyone?
Not that it makes any difference in practice. Cruilla and Primavera are both in the same boat: they can't unilaterally cancel until the government says so, otherwise they're dead as companies. BTW, Cruilla customers have no more assurance on refunds right now than Primavera customers do: "different options" isn't a 100% guarantee, otherwise they would say 100% guarantee. I don't know if anyone else is looking at the wider tourism picture, but European governments (including Germany, Spain, Italy and France) are pushing the EU to abolish the rules and allow airlines to issue vouchers instead of refunds for cancelled flights. This is the pattern for the tourism/cultural sector, it seems.
Cruilla won't happen in July, Primavera won't happen in August. Everyone knows it. This year is done. If you want the festivals happening again next year, think about vouchers instead of refunds.
thanks, this is the first reasonable comment I’ve read since long ago

got the email from ticketmaster..as I expected no full refund but a voucher for 2021 or 2022

It absolutely wasn't obvious that it wasn't happening at the end of august when they made the announcement. It's a complex and fast moving picture.
And Werchter had no chance to postpone (as a camping festival in a cold country), have dodged the question on ticket refunds yet that's ok for them?
is this dodging the question? I have a ticket for this and waiting a few days still is not a big deal to me

Just to let you guys know: none of the big Belgium festivals (TML, Werchter, Dour but also smaller ones like Blue Note or Cactus - no mention of Pukkelpop as sales hadn't started yet) have mentioned refunds so far. Most already announced that the tickets will be valid for 2021 or 2022 (in some cases). They have announced more news early or mid May. Just to show you, Primavera is by far not the only one.
tbh werchter was officially cancelled yeaterday and said that in a few days a statement regarding tickets will be out..pretty different than primavera moving dates and going awol for 2/3 weeks when it’s obvious it is not happening even at the end of august.....

When I was at wireless in 2018 , Drake left his vacation to come perform for literally 20 minutes so i dont think that’s anything to go by, however Hungary actually allowing people to come is a whole nother story
we are not even sure travel bans will be lifted by august, let alone organize a tour/concert and a festival that packs 70000 people a day on an island
2020 is off and until we have more evidence of immunization after having been in contact with the virus or a vaccine is widely available, I think also 2021 festival season could be endangered
in this situation gatherings with more than 5k people will be the last thing to be re allowed

Rock Werchter cancelled. Like Werchter Boutique too. Press conference of the Prime Minister in 5 minutes: they will announce the lockdown until May 3rd and all events are cancelled until July 31th.
About TicketMaster, I also think they can't do it. But seems they did...
this still leaves place for other festivals like pukkelpop, but isnt it obvious at this point that all 2020 is gone? why set a deadline for cancellation and postpone it after? (which is what all countries are doing and I really don’t get it 🤷♂️)
Edit: ok it’s August, makes a lot more sense

The Killers still haven't made any announcements yet and they're scheduled to play in May, MCR still not cancelled their uk shows & same as Rammstein (Both in Jue). Both playing football stadiums so will be hard just to postpone.
dude 2020 is OFF
-
at this point it was pretty obvious..even primavera which postponed to late august I doubt it will take place

the primavera topic is literally blowing up, apparently they are releasing the lineup sometime before a radio show scheduled for tomorrow 11am..so maybe this was what Jazebel was talking about! we may get something tomorrow or friday
-
TOP this year at pukkelpop played 70 minutes headliner slot, so I think they will easily fit all 3 bands on the mainstage

Just passing on to the festival directors what I'm hearing here:
- Established headliners - not good
- Hiphop headliners - not good
- Surprising headliners - not good
- Safe acts - not good

I don't think there's going to be a 2021 edition. Looking forward to the Most Amazing Festival in History, organized by EFestival Forum though! ?
Hey not all forum is complaining though?

However, I'd take Frank Turner in a hearbeat. Always a party 
would love to see him destroy the barn
