Exactly! We booked so many things over the last 18 months, cancelled, rolled over etc… it was bizarre actually being back at it at first! My mate is convinced we’ve fully tested our vaccines but I’m a bit less blasé 😂😂 But I went into them thinking fuck it, I’m not gonna be any different to the ‘old days’ and whatever happens does. You roll the dice I guess and after hugging friends old and new, sharing joints, drinks and getting properly involved it all worked out ok I guess. All I know is a month ago I felt jaded and downbeat and now I’ve got my chipper side back and love people again! 😍😂

I managed to do Warm Up festival, Lost Village festival and a Kaiser Chiefs gig without catching the covid. I don’t know of anyone that did catch it at any of these events either. We all know there’s a risk and if we aren’t happy taking that risk then we shouldn’t go to events. I’ve isolated in between events and not seen my family and friends in between them either. I’m obviously glad I didn’t catch it but would take the risks again as it was bloody glorious to be back doing what we love!

Perhaps you were more soberer this time? Maybe it was the same, but you didn’t notice before? 🤭

This is one of my top reasons why working Glasto is better. Ok, not next to car but within 5 mins walk!

That sounds like a shambles but comparing it to Fyre festival is a bit dramatic!

Elrow London cancelled… nothing to do with covid though 🤷‍♂️

I think contactless payments are so widely used now it renders this system obsolete before its even come of age. What’s the point in people adding funds to a payment device when they already have one in their pocket?

(there's a new thread, so they might come back!) And Lost Village have just released their banquet menus. Whilst I have no interest in banquets while I'm at a festival, it's good to hear them making noises. I might actually get to go to a festival this year!

Love a bit of psy but it’s er… an eclectic community!

You should check out some of the psytrance community comments! Mind you, these people think you can heal the world with fucking crystals.

Of my booked festivals 3 of 4 are in the bin! I can’t believe I used to come on this thread and tell you all to stop being so bloody pessimistic 😂😂

The ravers will win.

No one said that did they.

Yes, two would be classed as vulnerable - but vaccinated!

Of all my friends that go to festivals, I don’t know any that are apprehensive about returning. They are all chomping at the bit. I know that’s a small sample size but I don’t get any sense of people being scared, apart from on this forum.
