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

Lots of tours are being rescheduled for early September, hopefully optimistic signs that things will be alright for Reading.

I think that's much more about the biz trying to wish itself back into existence than it is an indicator of when touring will get back to normal. :(

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

can imagine a lot of artists will of changed their touring schedules now, especially american acts so if it does go ahead the line up will most likely have some big changes

Good, could do without migos on the line up

    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performing. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
