It's nowhere near as simple as this but say R&L have capacity of about 90,000 at each site. In the seven days to 1st April there were 17 COVID cases in Bath (pop: 88,000), 103 in Chester (pop: 91,000) and 32 in Worcester (pop: 98,000). That's now, so once everyone's vaccinated that will drop to virtually zero. With proof of vaccination and tests for the rest, in theory there's no reason why R&L shouldn't go ahead on that basis. But sadly we all know it doesn't work like that in reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite that simple as you say, it does certainly suggest that if forced to test everyone on entry, there deffo wouldn’t be ‘thousands’ being sent home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If headliners finish at 11:30, and play for 90mins then that would mean the undercard finishes at 8:30 roughly. That’s 8 hours for 16+ acts which is silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Judas Priest have cancelled all of their August European festival dates due to complications with COVID on the continent etc. but they are still doing their Bloodstock headline set. Like we didn’t know it already but this announcement is first of many bands, I would assume, that will be giving Europe a miss. I think we are going to get a very British based lineup for sure and one that is quite different to what we have. That’s why lineup news it taking so long.

In that case, you could have 8 or 9 acts per main stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However that being said I doubt we will see international acts lower on the bill this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think big acts will travel while those with less support will cancel if there are logistical issues thrown in my some countries allowing them in, some not etc... ultimately, as ever the 💰 will no doubt make the decisions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 I don't think it'll look remarkably different. If you check out recent years, it's mostly been just some of the biggest artists that come in from overseas, and those types of act will remain. The lower reaches of Main, R1 stage, the Dance Stage, 1Xtra and Festival Republic have been packed out with British artists. I think the Pit/Lock Up will probably see the most change, but most punters won't notice that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukey Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 If we do lose American acts, could see: Biffy, Dizzee Rascal, Skepta etc being added to replace. Can't work out a like to like to replace Post Malone, apart from Dave but he's exclusive at Parklife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this moment, the double vaccination is sceptical for 23rd July to day say the least. Even going by the best governments guidelines at this point the early second vaccine is 30th July and this tells you a lot about where festivals stand on both vaccines bring had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh look who it is again! You have to take into consideration the target demographic for 80s festival Rewind. They are older making it much more likely that their audience will or nearly all be doubly vaccinated. We arent talking about the teens you keep mentioning in this forum now- we are talking about those teens parents this time around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that festivals will need both two vaccines and assurances before they start paying out that it will happen. Any risk of it not will be enough risk.
