Benj Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 The other thing to factor in is actual COVID cancellations in the UK. Fontaines DC pulled out of Lattitude yesterday after a band member tested positive. You assume if touring, a band or crew member, so a fairly large bunch, testing positive may wipe out the band completely. Depending on case levels then, it may be pretty much a cert a few bands are forced to pull late on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeddingatReading Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) R&L have quite a big swing I think with attracting certain bands so could we get quite a few secret sets if bands pull out? If bands are around they'll probably jump at the chance to keep the festival sweet too, especially if they are playing next year. Bands like the vaccines, blossoms, the amazons, sundara karma etc - maybe even a big secret set from Royal Blood to set them up for headlining next year Edited July 23, 2021 by BeddingatReading .

iistroudley Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Think the announcement next week will be smaller acts filling gaps with any big acts changes (due to travel restrictions) coming a week or two before the festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhcp1 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Does anyone know with regards the entry requirements if your coming from Ireland like I am do you have to still do a lateral flow test even though I am fully vaccinated would I be correct in saying that? And if so can you just walk into any pharmacy and they will provide you with one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that info mate very helpful. I think your right it's odd isn't it even though we are fully vaccinated but whatever has to be done to get through those gates will be done 😊 can you just walk into a pharmacy in the UK and get a rapid test instantly? And you know how your rules on masks now are relaxed is that pretty much in hotels shops,bars etc you don't have to wear one anymore?

jumperofftheshelf Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Just seen apparently all members of Catfish except the frontman have resigned from the band according to a government website. Not too sure what this means but it could be likely we see them replaced if they’ve split. (not my discovery I have no idea how people find these things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jericode Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 They'll just get new Bottlemen, the band won't be dead long term. But yeah, throws a spanner in the works for their headline slot. Have to think the festival line up is gonna change a fair bit in the coming weeks between this and the possibility of Americans dropping out.

thatTFBguy Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 People jumping the gun re Catfish in my opinion. Let’s wait for official word before declaring the band dead. Plenty of reasons they could be winding down a LTD company that isn’t just splitting up. Not saying they’re definitely not splitting up, just saying I’d recommend waiting for official confirmation first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would of thought word of a split might of come out by now, 31 March they resigned. Quite an odd way of splitting up, especially as they've got 3 massive gigs coming up. Bit of a pisser for neighbourhood having both headliners implode if true. Edited July 24, 2021 by thetime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyrhodes24 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Is having a limited company with each band member registered on Companies House a standard thing? Can’t say I’ve ever thought of looking before but could it be something to do with the record label/just a legal thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyRevolutions Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Swear every other month a rumour stars circulating round twitter that CATB have split up, would be a weird time for them to call it the end when they have some of their biggest shows coming up. I'll be waiting for an official announcement if one ever comes, they're most likely just planning on starting a new LTD company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darberry Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 If Catfish are gone, bump Nothing but Thieves up to headline. They have the same amount of albums and a great range of different sounds, so basically an upgrade on Catfish 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
