DomDom1984 Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 The reason that our numbers are the way they are is because we're not testing in the same way they are. The numbers cannot be trusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomised Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I dont think anyones numbers can truly be trusted that said having looked at Spain's for last sunday at 600 with 10 deaths roughly and where they sit today with nearly 8000 and close to 300 deaths it's about to get significantly tougher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSaul Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Festickets are really pushing ticket insurance, (£15!!) highlighting that you get a refund in case of cancellation.. surely all points east would refund regardless ? (I just booked without paying the insurance 😬) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Obviously it's just one person's view (albeit a respected medical professor) but his verdict is as follows: “I think it will dip in the summer, towards the end of June, and come back in November, in the way that usual seasonal flu does. Very encouraging EOTR-wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom1984 Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Just be responsible folks. Forget about missing a festival. I decided a couple of weeks ago not to go to Ash and I'm keeping the ticket, because I don't want others putting people at risk. It's not worth the risk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadimmock Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 If there was any doubt about this going ahead I think that the governments announcement just confirmed them. Oh well, almost certainly for the best, but it is going to be a long summer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Honeymoon Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 At least one member of Kraftwerk and Iggy Pop are over 70. That day can't go ahead. I wonder why they have not yet announced a cancellation, waiting for the nod from the insurance company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Update in a sense, can’t imagine it’ll happen now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh69 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 With Bearded and Big Weekend both postponing/cancelling, really can't see this happening. Any chance it could be postponed though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_W01 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Yeah can't see this going ahead in May, a postponement would be nice though to be honest but I don't think that'd be very likely, I'm happy I haven't bought anything more than a ticket for all points east yet though...

Barnabylike Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Would probably imagine cancellation would be more favourable to them. They're not an independent festival so im sure the financial loss from cancellation wouldn't be causing them too much stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No once in a lifetime summer for us as the 2020 gig schedule is on a road to nowhere. … self-assuredly as lame as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrej Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 At this point there are no signals that Aug / Sep would be any better, so I think they will just cancel. Would be too much of a risk to postpone to end of August, and then cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlierc Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 The only thing is that is going to be cancelled, just a question as to when. But yeah its taken a lot longer than you might expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmanuel Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 I've been shouted at in the streets for walking too close to someone else. I think it will take a long time before concerts (and promoting them) become socially acceptable again. It is difficult for me to understand those that were concerned by one-off events 2-3 months from now (e.g. Glastonbury), unless it is their job. We've already lost two months of good local shows and the damage is already going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got used to a completely unthinkable concept of social distancing in the space of 7 days, which shows how adaptable humans are. If we can do that in a week, we can adapt back in a short time too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine this is why the delay. There looks to be little doubt it won’t happen in May it’s just a question of whether it’s a postponement or a cancellation.
