    No, the deal is off.

    There is a problem to get a whole production overseas. Same reason BMTH. 
     

    So I’m curious for other festivals.

    Ouch, that is possibly terrible news for Down The Rabbit Hole.. Any chance you're in the loop of the status of the Gorillaz booking there? Will it go through as planned?

    Better them than Limp Bizkit who have been said to have been booked over on the festileaks forum. 

    That’ like Sophie’s Choice!

    If Sophie had to choose between a giant douche and a turd sandwich…

    Is this something similar to what Werchter is planning? Or do they really want to move the whole festival?

    No not quite, Pinkpop has indicated in an earlier stage that a full festival would be their only option. What happened yesterday is that they requested for a festival permit for the end of August. These applications must be in with the municipalities 6 months in advance. Pinkpop has responded that they still prefer and aim for a June edition (not gonna happen), but they want to keep the options open for a move to August. Also the government's guarantee fund for events might be in play here, which is valid for events from July 1st and presumably there is still no decision on whethetr Pinkpop could enforce an exception on that date. So a move to August could also be driven by the fact that they could apply for the guarantee fund in case it would be canceled.

    Sad, but it's probably the least unexpected news of the year. It was only ever a matter of when, not if, they cancelled.

    Oh well, roll on 2022...

    Wasn't unexpected that June wasn't going to happen, but hope was still that they might be able to move to August/September. So it's still sad news that they cancel altogether...

    Of course that's right but all the same there are cost implications of R&L committing to go ahead and they must be confident that they are not likely to incur these additional costs i.e. that the risk is small.

    He also said yesterday he was 'very confident' on the June 21 date so he is putting his reputation on the line and certainly if it slips past the end of August over two months later which is the timing for Reading.

    What reputation?

  6. Best Kept Secret moving to September is all but certain. Yes, the site seems to have been booked for that weekend in September, but that site also hosts two other festivals.

    Moreover, the € 300M guarantee fund only seems to be aimed at events that were originally planned after July 1st, so a move to September doesn't seem to help BKS in this matter.

    I'm quite curious how it will all play out. All we can say pretty surely at this point is that it won't happen in June (at least, not in the way we were used to).

    The speed at which testing is developing it looks as though at some point next year for mass events you’ll be able to have a quick test on a arrival, wait between 20 mins and 90 mins (depending on the success of the different testing models being developed) and then be free to enter.

    At primavera it’s a two step/gate entry process (security, then ticket)anyway.

    Dont see why they cant combine security and test for the first step, and then hold people in the massive open area near the auditori until their test results are ready.

    I've also been thinking about this solution, but what do you do when people have positive tests, after they were probably in a long and crowded line before being tested?

    No. Different day. Saturday with gorillaz and 21 pilots

    I know, but the 2020 RW event on bandsintown is rescheduled with the new dates in 2021 there (including artists). And if artists have a feed from bandsintown on their own website (like Kendrick) it will now show the 2021 date. 

    Although, that's what I make of it.
