Lineup 2020

Okay so I ain't even kidding when I say I''ve been to Leeds Festival since 2008 every single year and can see where it takes place from where I live I'm that close, and I love it when it comes around every year, helps me personally. But with no posts since March 17th now meaning it's been 2 months nearly since the last post, and the world as it is, an announcement needs to be imminent.

I do NOT want 80,000 people coming into the village I live in, infecting me and the entire village. They need to postpone it, just like many other festivals have so we can get a refund and not worry about it, the sooner they announce it the better. We need to hear something, and it should be that it's cancelled for this year.

Now with the lineup actually being decent for once, I do hope that they can carry most of the artists over for next year (Rage, FEVER 333, Stormzy, KSI, ATL just to name a few personally I'd see) but even if not I'd much rather be safe and cancel the festival for this year.

The sooner people here about it the better, I do get worried that they haven't posted in 2 months but are they waiting to see about the current world crisis and see what happens nearer the time? I hope not...

Only a matter of time before we get an announcement about Reading not going ahead this year. They're obviously holding out until the last possible minute, which personally I don't blame them for. Even if there was any chance, no matter how slim, of it going ahead, Johnson's speech yesterday has effectively ended that. 

It's a shame of course but in the grand scheme of things it's what needs to happen. Not worth putting so many lives at risk of not only the festival goers but as others have said, the people of Reading too. 

Roll on 2021

Electric Picnic aka Electric Shitnic here in Ireland (an extremely poor version of R & L) just got canceled in the last hour. Its the week after Leeds and Melvin also owns it. Expect an announcement tonight if not tomorrow. Its done unfortunately for this year.

I don’t understand the people holding out hope it goes ahead, why would you actually go?

There will be no vaccine at that point so you would go risking the chance you become infected? Taking it home to your loved ones?

Even if you are young how are you to know that you or your family don’t have an underlying health issue that you aren’t aware of? 

You’d be taking unnecessary risks with life.

Next year for festivals could be pretty doubtful then.

For me, yep. 

I wouldn’t want to go to a mass attended event until there’s a vaccine. I really don’t see me going to a bar/restaurant until there’s a vaccine either depending on herd immunity numbers and percentages.

What’s the point removing the tweet off Instagram and twitter and then leaving them in the line up on the website...? Doesn’t sound like the organisers have many brain cells to be honest.

They’d be better off just putting out the cancellation announcement now. We all know here that it’s not happening, and they know themselves as well that it’s not either, so all of this delaying the announcement is wasting everyone’s damn time.

I am pretty much the same.

Even though I already got my Sziget Festival/flights tickets, I made the decision I would not be going even if they did not cancel due to health implications.

if the festival somehow goes ahead then I’ll be there because I will have to be as work in event control and coordinate welfare ops. 
 

I am at the opinion that it shouldn’t go ahead because I can’t guarantee the welfare of guests and volunteers.

Just wish they’d just get on with it and announce cancellation / refunds already.  On a more cheerful note, some of the other gigs that have been rescheduled now have tickets available for the rescheduled shows, presumably as some have got refunds.

A vaccine may never be possible. What then?

Have any of the acts officially pulled out ? Could we ask for a refund based on the fact that the bands promised will not be there, no matter what ?

Rage have said they aren’t coming to Europe in 2020 and I booked a ticket for rage.

But I’m of the view that they are probably 99.99% sure it’s off and they are just waiting for some final penny to drop. Probably something to do with insurance or force majeure.

I mean... look at the travel bans in place. Half their lineup ain’t coming as it is.

No, read the terms and conditions.

I bet there are pages of them, I’ll take your word for it !  I just want my money back at this stage.  I would imagine there are quite a few of us strapped for cash .....

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
