    Yeah that is weird if NIN are only doing indoor venues. Last time they came to the UK they were doing indoor venues in June too. Hope that's wrong, I'd much prefer a festival.

     

     

    Not really a weird thing to do, depending on their light show it may be built for indoor shows specifically. I've seen them at festivals a few times & indoors a few times, would much prefer the arena show.

    This is a wind up, right?! What part of the current lockdown do you not understand? People are continuing to die, is it really acceptable to just nip out for beer?

    In Peru they restricted the sale of alcohol as its a nonessential item, seems to make sense to me.

    Although of course you could still get it if you tried, but that was the official line.

    Sorry but that’s rubbish. Germany has a higher population density than Italy, so will they have a higher death toll? Belgium and the Netherlands have the highest population densities in Europe, so will they get hit hardest? The reason Italy had been hit harder in the first place is they have an older population (see average age of positive test in Germany vs Italy) It is also far more common in Italy for many generations to live under one roof which will greatly aid transmission and put an older population further at risk. This does not happen in the U.K., or Germany for that matter.

    In relation to the initial spread yes I would expect England to have more cases due to the density & delay in putting the initial quarantine place. Plus there are certainly areas of the country where it is frequent that multiple generations live under the same form. 

    Whilst Italy have an average older age compared to the England, they are also a much healthier country comparitive to England. With Spain being the healthiest European country. 

    There are many factors that come into play but I was merely saying my opinion is that the greater population density will contribute to the spread & subsequent fatalities in the UK comparitive to Italy specifically.

    Official news today said that lockdown restrictions could be lifted at end of May if people adhere to the rules. Let's call that mid-late June as a worst case scenario. 

    Still leaves 2.5 months to R+L! Surely it wouldn't take 2.5 months for no lockdown developing into large gatherings allowed? This is assuming things continue to improve, and surely the govt. won't risk lifting lockdown until that's next to certain? 

    I assume that will be for our internal quarantine measures, not opening the borders for international travel.

    Even when borders do reopen it will be dependant on the global situation & will still be a few months after that until people willingly travel for non essential trips.

    She could of been booked ages ago though when it wasnt all close to selling out 

    As Grumpyraver already stated that still doesn't affect why the show couldn't be announced now if she was playing.

    The longer the tickets are on sale the better, otherwise people may decide not to attend due to other plans.

    i really doubt this festival has the budget to go after RATM. i would say its either Foo Fighters or Eminem.

    Doesn't have the budget for RATM but does for eminem? I'd imagine eminem would be charging just as much if not more.

    I'd be nervous about seeing them, I was too young before, now they might be too old and no Slash, I've heard mixed reports about them live... if they weren't amazing it would taint my memory of how much I loved their music as a little 

    Slash has been back in the band for years now & all the reports I've heard have been great. 

    Will be getting tickets for the London show.

    Thought it was called Astoria 2 by then?

    I thought there were two seperate astorias on the same street, may have just been different entrances though.

    Something similar happened to me. Bought two tickets and I'm pretty sure I wasn't hallucinating when I saw a booking confirmation page. But I looked the next day and I had no emails, no money gone from  my bank, and no info about the tickets on my AXS account

    Same thing happened to my group as well. My mate never received the confirmation email, phoned axs & they said it hadn't gone through. 

    Luckily we all managed to pick up free tickets instead!

  11. Looks like I’m heading to tomorrow by myself now, as my mate has just bailed. So I have spare ticket for tomorrow if anyone’s interested. 

    Hoping the organisation is better than the Finsbury events have been!

    As in why would she. She aint British so it probably isn't as important to her to headline it, and she can easily make more money doing a stadium tour instead. It's the same reason I don't expect Taylor Swift or Drake to headline

    All the headliners that could do stadium tours would earn more money from those shows than Glastonbury, what's your point?

    Besides I'm pretty sure ticket sales for her last time stadium tour were rather weak and I'm pretty sure she had to cancel a show or two, doesn't scream "too big" to me.

    Beyonce's much bigger and she's not British, why did she headline?
