"Testing is not the best way cuz you can develop the symptoms DURING the festival."
That is however the model currently being used in the aviation industry and lots of governments have supported it.
Testing plus some level of vaccination may be enough. We don't need "guaranteed no-infection perfection" to re-open layers of society, as the last 3 months have shown.
But you're wearing mask while fyling, masks during the festival are a bit impractical.
The key is on vaccine.

I agree with you, don't forget that this shitty situation starts only 6 months ago... Who knows what Will happen in the next 8 months?
And within 8 months do you really believe that vaccine would be widespread?
I'm really hopping for that, but at the moment it looks pretty impossible. Testing is not the best way cuz you can develop the symptoms DURING the festival.

What are the odds on KOL returning? Saw them at Beni last year and would love to see them again.
Don't think that they are in Europe next year.

There's still 9 months for Primavera/the world to have either an implemented vaccine or effective test-on-arrival regime or 12 months if they want try it in Summer again. That's a chunk of time. Keep the faith!
Test on arrival is the worst solution, but the only one at the moment

How confident are we that the 2021 dates will be 4 to 11 August? Need to get some flights booked (they have risen in price 25% over the last week while I've been monitoring them and can't afford them to rise much further).
There are rumours that festival is moved a week forward, any info about that?

New Killer's album is great, would be nice to have them at Werchter 2021. I've seen some rumours here on the forum in the past that they are a possibility, any news on this ?
18 hours ago, Ken19 said:Yeah, every artist that day had no problem to wear a bracelet. Even Icons like Depeche Mode. But the manager from 30 seconds to Mars refused this. Something that does not happen that often. Jared Leto doesn’t wear something like that he said (to be honest, big chance Jared had no problem with that, but it is most of the time that the entourage is difficult, not the artist). And they put a sign on every door with the pictures of the three band members on it. With the message: they can go anywhere they want and the people that are with them too.
Andy Fletcher and the other keyboardguy started to remove all the signs backstage. And one time the brother of Jared Leto was stopped at the door by security. Entourage of the band mad, the guys from Depeche Mode laughing. And making fun of them.
Depeche Mode was in a tremendous form that day. Great show. Andy throwing away his shirt in the crowd at the end of the show.
Normally all artists are very down to earth. And how bigger the band, how more relaxed they are.
Good to know that I don't want to see 30 Seconds live ever
DM are lengends and yeah they are playing festivals even though they are so big so no problem for them
and Ken is it possible for press to get this backstage bracelet?
about The Killers they are performing on Inmusic around 21st of June and on Mad Cool, so would say they are pretty likely

Ha, no... 2013 there were also some ego issues. That doesn’t help. But depeche mode made it funny.
They performed instead of 30 Seconds?

I think you have misinterpreted what they said.
They told that festival will have some old acts and some new, so I assume that they already know all the names as well as the dates.
Names are let's say less important now than dates now, think it's time to tell us about dates and let us to plan our trip

They were on IG stories.

Still no dates? In Q&A they told that they already know all lineup (mix of last year and some new added), so it's time to tell us about the dates

Think it's more likely that we'll have festivals in Europe than in the US, but again there is a problem: How to put US acts and all crew on festival without quarantine?
Things with club limit will be the most crucial in the US: if they are able to handle 1500 ppl inside, you know that festivals will be likely.

I didn't know about the deadline, thanks. The Minister of the Prime Minister's Office has just said that they won't build anything unless the mayor's office supports is, so there will be no dam or anything else (including the sports academy on the southern edge of the island, which is a shame. That part could use some renovation). We'll see.
What a situation, hope that Mayor's office won't let dam, meaning Sziget is very important for tourism.
But I can see how this affects artists now.
So dates probably around 30th of September?

The northern part of the island is owned by the Mayor's office, but the government wants to build a dam around the whole island, so they can protect the new sports academy they'll build on the southern part of it. If the construction will come true, it will surely influence all the upcoming editions of the festival. It's not official yet, they are just plans as far as I know, but maybe they are waiting for the outcome.
OMG, so probably we'll lose Sziget?
Sziget is just posting virtual festival stuff and nothing about the dates which is weird.

I have a feeling that many acts are still not certain for their specific day ........with Roskilde, Open'er and Lollapalooza Stockholm on the same weekend where everybody needs new headliners to replace someone else, I can imagine it is really tough to arrange multiple shows. (e.g. The Killers should be a valid option for every festival mentioned above)
Roskilde is from 26th od June, don't see a problem

Hoping it will be official very soon. But the climate has changed in Belgium, again.
Looks like they are confirming all festivals, need to confirm Garorock and Roskilde to

It's not a problem about going on, acts are problem.
Can't see US bands touring for a long time unfortunately. Without vaccine slight hope for US.

Well it's strange to read this. They usually announce their dates on the same week the festival ended, but at least by then end of August. I can't recall we had to wait until December for next years dates.
https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid=f8a8309cca071301&page=view&resid=F8A8309CCA071301!72908&parId=F8A8309CCA071301!72150&authkey=!AFtZiAt9-YItpdU&app=Word
In this press release they mention that it will start on 5 Aug, so in the beginning of November we already knew the exact dates. But right, now I remember that last years long wait was pretty unusual.
(Here's another one from 2016. On 17 Aug they released the following year's dates. https://cefestivals.wordpress.com/2016/08/17/sziget-2016-kozel-felmillioan-voltunk/?fbclid=IwAR15K5MhNIylKad12m1O5OnVQtKHTlsWQgd70t4sKgT21nPaeXimjEP-IXs)
I don't think it will be too long until we know the dates for next year.They need to put the dates unless they won't lose artists, some festivals put out dates right after cancellation announcement. Idk why they need to wait longer then 5th of August, only if they already have all acts confirmed.

This just means they will have similar acts to make it easier to attract big names to northern europe or across the pond. Similar to the lollapaloozas in south america which run the same weekend to get most headliners doing 2/3 of the dates
It's hard to imagine them ignoring Sweden. They performed everytime in Sweden after new LP was realised , so the option is to put Scandinavian festivals in 2022 (with Sziget) or do it the next year. They aren't doing Lollapalooza in Stockholm, so Way Out West is the only chance for Sweden.
I saw that they are doing one cancelled US show in March 2022, so maybe they are planning to to the rest of US shows at that time.

Could this actually pushed back a couple of days or single week to grab The Strokes again?
They are playing some US shows in early August and probably won't return to those scandinavian festivals, but I guess this has already been mentioned before....
Where did you read about US shows in August?
Only problem can be the fact that US shows won't be possible in the first half of the year, so they'll need to reschedule them later and August looks like a pretty option unfortunately.
But again they have fall/winter which is the most possible for indoors in US, but again think that The Voidz are planning to record the album at that time, so problems again.
It's very possible that they accepted Outside Lands somewhere in March cuz lineup appeared in April where European festivals started to get canceled.
EDIT: and Scandinavian festivals looks like totally mess in 2021, almost all in the same week, so I think that they would skip them which makes Sziget whit Splendour In The Grass in late July and Outside lands in 8th of July little possible.

HAIM would be quite the loss, especially after releasing such a damn fine album.
I've read that HAIM accept only festivals who are consistend of at least 50% female acts, maybe that's the key

Hopefully they bring back the Sunday moving in day. Flights can't be really booked yet anyway can they? Not available with BA anyway.
I don't expect dates being confirmed until the autumn. Although you would imagine it will be the same dates. They can't really do it earlier with Volt late June and Balaton mid July.
Hope that it would be around 5th of August, otherwise they are in risk of losing some acts.
It looks like some acts were calculating with postponed or scheduled festivals later this year
