That Manics set was superb. Was expecting a typical "best of" setlist with all the usual hits given it was a one hour festival slot, but they gave us a few curveballs.

I get that they want to ensure that everyone is negative but you don’t have to do another test if you go off-site and come back which defeats the point entirely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may be more of a case of them not really being bothered to get huge names for the Pit considering it’s half empty most of the time. The name ‘Gallows’ will do the trick for most looking for something heavier regardless of if Frank is with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would someone right now that hasn't even bothered with a vaccination get one when they don't actually have to. Going by this, the elder folk have basically vaccinated themselves for the younger not to have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked my vaccine the second it was available for our age group (before it was even announced to be available) and have booked my second for exactly 8 weeks later. I couldn’t physically have been able to be double vaccinated + 14 days immunity before the 25th of August. Young people are getting vaccinated. I don't know one person my age that isn’t or hasn’t.

jump Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 As a guess Gaza is talking about something to do with the fest asking for a negative test rather than vaccination proof to allow admission which doesn’t encourage people to get the vaccination, because going to a festival is the only motivation for getting the jab apparently. However that seems reasonable enough since you need two jabs with 8 weeks apart and then 3 weeks after that for the vaccination to become effective so people would have needed the first jab in sometime in June and it wasn’t offered to everyone at that point plus the fest didn’t tell you the requirement at that time.

I'm not directly saying they aren't. I'm saying for people who choose not to be, this ruling in events stood them needing to so why should others have had to who may actually be concerned about it but chose to because it was the done thing?

I kind of get what you mean, but I don’t think any organisation, especially one as huge as R/L, is gonna demand vaccination for entry. In an ideal world it would be mandatory, but unfortunately a large portion of people are idiots and R/L doesn’t want to lose their business so they’ve given them an alternate option, even if it is kind of bullshit and unfair to the vaccinated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called choice, if people want to take the bigger risk without a jab then that's upto them. It was obvious this type of entry requirement was going to happen, I'm sure it's going to be that way for gigs/fests for a good while.

I said to our lass The Snuts sound like The Kooks about two days before it was announced they were supporting them on tour.

With a little over 5 weeks to opening there is not long to go, would be good to know if QOTSA are playing or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it’s got to come this week after the 19th passes by, any longer and they’ll have built the festival sites before they’ve built the full lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
