When are we expecting the poster to be out? Rumours swirling around about Beck, Massive Attack and Frank Ocean. Can't wait to be there in June! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hip Priest Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Was putting a brave face on it but hints that postponement (no dates mentioned) is also a possibility. Mentioned that hotels would change bookings which I thought was quite revealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know critical thinking isn’t your thing but could it occur to you that he doesn’t want to announce a postponement and then have to disappoint people. So they are going about it very carefully and checking it is a realistic plan (against a complex and evolving global pandemic situation) before confirming it? And the Frank Ocean suggestion was a joke about this feeling like Groundhog Day obviously. Edited March 16, 2020 by xxialac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puckno Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 There is also another reason to play the ´everything will go on as planned´ game: to let government - and not the festival itself - to cancel, and thus get away financially (and save future festivals) with the force majeure clauses, relieving the festival from contractual obligations with bands, venues, audience etc. As has happened with other festivals lately. I still have hopes for an August edition though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not ready to make a statement then just don't speak lol, people will complain if he doesn't say anything either. I think it's fine that he comes with a statement that they are planning on going on as planned, but that's something he can't control. It's still over two months, but don't get your hopes up with this statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not ready to make a statement then just don't speak maybe "hint" wasn't the best word, the situation is so up in the air that it's hard for them to say anything for defo. moving the festival to a later date is an option for them for sure.

n=Nowheretohide Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Critical thinking....yeah right let wait last week and then announce cancellation so he can piss 100000 people....critical thinking is what is missing on this thread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n=Nowheretohide Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 If he wanted not to disappoint fans he would announce cancellation sooner then later...most hotels have policy of refund to specific date ( mine up to 5th may and only 50% , after that nothing ), given that we have almost 3 months to festivals and hope that we will have hot April and May most probably option that festival indeed will go as planed and this corona lunacy will be behind us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_89 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Just now, riseupandkill said: not really an expert (surprise!) but we were looking to get some for later in the year and loads doesn't cover CV19-related things now. Read some news reports that basically said it's not worth buying at the moment Ah, I understand. Buying a travel insurance now doesn't make sense now, since the problem is already here and that's why the insurance won't cover it anymore. My travel insurance cover travels that was made before 12/3, so I'm safe if it this won't take place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albman Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 This is an article focusing on UK festivals, but I imagine it applies to those in other countries too: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/mar/09/its-a-case-of-holding-your-nerve-festivals-face-coronavirus-insurance-disaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
