How much could all this impact artists financially? The likes of Declan McKenna, Vistas, Sea Girls etc are all releasing albums and on the verge of exploding but surely cancelled album tour shows would have a huge impact on that. Is it possible some artists could just call it a day over a lack of money?

Unfortunately this could definitely happen. As fans, the best thing we can do is continue to support artists like this as much as we can. They're gonna need it. Especially on the smaller end, some bands for sure won't be able to viably continue.

Would there be a chance of example being announced?

Hybrid Minds are at creamfields, SW4 and reading/leeds that weekend. Example is as SW4 and creamfields so I would say its possible but whether the festival even goes ahead or not is another question

Yup. Artists, festivals ... and festival websites. :( 

But hey, shit happens, and life for most of us will go on. It's where it won't that matters.

Surely you’re getting unprecedented traffic at the moment? I hope you are okay Neil. Thanks for the work you’re doing for us!

traffic pays nothing at all, it's the advertising revenue and ticket commissions and gold subscriptions which generate the business income.
(The gold subscriptions fund the hosting so I'm confident efests isn't going anywhere.)

At least some (and perhaps all) of the ticket agents want ticket commissions back, and advertising revenue was already poor and is only likely to get much worse when so many businesses can't trade normally.

Don't feel sorry for me, it's a bit of a shit but it is what it is and I'll cope with life somehow. There's many more people in much worse situations than me.

Okay! Thank you for keeping this site going by the way. I think it’s helping more people than you think.

Plus, no festivals doesn’t mean people would flock. I’m sure you know that all of us will find literally anything to natter on about :P
