Pains me to say that but I just don’t think it’s that realistic. Hope I’m wrong though. I guess R&L has more chance of happening that than stuff like Download and Glasto which are really under threat but still, atm I’m leaning more towards fests not happening. Again, really really hope I’m wrong I dunno if i can cope with another year of no festivals. Festivals + gigs are what keep me going but I am starting to think that next year is going to be fairly similar to this. I think our only real hope to get either next year is a vaccine or a procedure that drastically reduces deaths and it could be a long time until any mass roll-out of either. More so than this, I really do feel for the smaller fests/ music venues that put their all into every year making only a small profit solely for the enjoyment of doing so. Along with that, the massive job losses in the industry that are already occurring. Here's to hoping we can get back to some sort of normality in the music industry soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh we may never get a vaccine so we will have to come up with a procedure that will benefit indoor/outdoor gigs and festivals. Maybe make masks mandatory and provide cleaning solutions everywhere within the venue and other rules that would help events to go ahead next year so people can have something to look forward to and help them through this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If health, local government approvals and safety permit, we will come back to Europe in fall 2021. We will let you know as soon as we have a confirmed touring plan." Just got mail from oeticket.com So they are out until at least fall 2021 Maybe say September/October next year is when it will be likely to see gigs back at some sort of fuller capacity tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoOdyssey Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Fontaines DC are easily set to get their first #1 album this week! I wonder if they could get pushed up to Radio 1 headliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the post above the quoted message you say gigs won't be able to happen until fall 2021 yet in this post you're querying whether to buy tickets for a show in April. I'm starting to think you're not a reliable source on all things COVID... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jericode Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Right but if he's got nothing new to play why bother bumping him up to sub for the sake of it? Stick a new album out and sure he's probably easily sub level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Sum Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) I really don’t think Dave has the pulling power to be a co-head he is big in the UK but outside he hasn’t really made a name for himself Edited August 5, 2020 by Dim Sum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWaters Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) If Stormzy’s headline level then Dave isn’t far off. Next album, or next album build up even, he could easily headline. Edited August 5, 2020 by TheWaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWaters Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) I’d say he’s probably at the same level at the minute in terms of where he’d place on an R&L lineup. I think Skepta’s time to headline has been and gone though while Dave is just going to keep growing. Skepta’s just kind of stagnated at this point Edited August 5, 2020 by TheWaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jericode Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Skepta is still a solid sub for Reading. This year's line up would have looked 100x better with him instead of Courteeners subbing Rage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
