I guess there is the high risk the state of alarm gets extended into late April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveje Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Here in the Netherlands they've just extended our lockdown till end of April, and the situation isn't as serious here as in Spain. You can bet Spain's restrictions will go past April 11th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bet Spain's restrictions will go past April 11th. Sure it will, yes. Spain is a good few days ahead of Netherlands though so even though more serious situation in Spain, it should be the peak in Spain within the next week and then would expect to ease in Spain, whereas at that point Netherlands will be yet to peak.

xxialac Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 The US incidentally is even further behind. According to their latest modelling, even if Americans follow the proper distancing measures, the virus won't recede until about July 1st. It looks like even if this thing goes ahead, the headliners will have to be almost totally different to the current ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is for others... from customer support at the Dice ticketing platform Obviously, this date will be extended, but it is at least good to know the 'why' of the situation.

Sorry to hear that. so far so good with the diagonal zero, but I guess they could pull it at any minute. In previous when I’ve stayed there they’ve always honoured our ridiculously early bookings - sometimes we’ve even re-booked it (With no deposit) for the next year while still at the festival as soon as they announce the dates and before prices went up. but, of course, these are strange times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a Melia member the last ten years and I still couldn’t get the bastards to honour my booking, very sharp practice on their part. Considering pissing in their pool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostdancer1 Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 same.I booked a couple further down into Poblenou just in case though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Also same. I get the impression (or am clinging to the hope) that they went with a different hotel this year so the booking will be valid. On a separate point preying that Spain has a lower fatality count at some point this weekend and can start to turn a corner, as Italy has done.

xxialac Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 ...and the numbers have fallen for the first time today. Doesn't prove anything (as could be an anomaly) but still some reason to be encouraged that this won't carry on rising up steeply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 On a festival note, Tomavistas (40 bands, Madrid) has announced for the week after the new Primavera date. 90% of bands already confirmed to roll over (but very few US bands on the original lineup). Imagine now that Primavera will start at least with a high % of carried-forward names albeit the North American ones will drop away (and potentially completely).

xxialac Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Barcelona's mayor, Ada Colau, said on Friday (today) that major summer festivals, La Mercè and other mass events such as music festivals "are surely going to be the last things to clear." Speaking to RAC1, Colau said they were in "permanent" contact with the Primavera Sound, which was rescheduled for late August . "Hopefully this can be done at the end of the summer, just like the rest of the festivals," he added, though he emphasized that events with high concentrations of people would "be the most complicated" of authorizing past full confinement. . "The last sign of normality will be when we can do massive events like these," he said. In fact, Colau has been convinced that there will be a "long transition phase" between total confinement and resuming day-to-day activities. "It will be months," he said. He also acknowledged that some transitional limitations would "be certain" during the transition phase, although he did not believe that this would be "definitive". I'm being glass half full about this...(probably just in a good mood as Dinosaur Jr appear to have signed up to August) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 I was sold on going this year the moment Pavement were confirmed so them reconfirming is enough for me! Fingers crossed other American artists follow suit (and then the festival happens, and then the American acts are actually allowed over...)

Then knowing pavement are going i'm pretty sure i will, but my daughters both have their hearts set for two US artists (LDR and The Strokes) and chances on both confirming will be slim i think. If Bauhaus, YLT, JaMC and Massive Attack confirm then i'm leaving them home... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
