Beardy Folk: https://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/20/200710a.shtml Though there doesn't seem to be any suggestion of how they're going to ensure social distancing etc. Maybe they're using the pub form of ensuring distancing, ie cross your fingers and hope.

Pinhead Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Their forums say they'll make the go / no go decision last day of July, however they seem confident they'll have figured out a way (probably make it all open stages for example), also its mainly campervans which helps.

I thought Bearded were recently saying they're really not very confident about it happening this year? Have they change their tone since?

Assuming that you mean Bearded as opposed to Beardy Folk, which posts do you mean? (I tend to see it as the opposite if I'm honest). More pointedly, you don't have to look too much between the lines of their official posts via Facebook, to see (in my eyes anyway) that they not only pretty much say no to this year, but throw quite a bit of doubt on next years date as well (ie possibly later than May). Sorry, not trying to sound grumpy, but I just cant see it.... also, I should have woken up in a different field this morning (Doune The Rabbit Hole) for my birthday....so I probably am....bah 🙄☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 I agree Spud, it's highly unlikely to be on in September and there is a doubt over scheduling a date in 2021 exists due to lack of government guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul ™ Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Good Evening We hope you are safe and well. Thank you for your patience while we have been getting our house in order.

Dancers Stand Very Still Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Glad to hear they've got the confidence to reschedule for the spring. That's some welcome news. Who do we think might be added? Looks like a blend of this year's acts and some others to my untrained eye. What's the likelihood of the likes of The Flaming Lips, Primal Scream and Echo & The Bunnymen being re-added? Also, presumably this will also clash with the first weekend of APE?

Paul ™ Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I really hope the Flaming Lips get added, was really looking forward to their show at BT. Bit early to tell, hoping they can retain a lot of the line up, this is all moved pretty quick to stick with next years usual dates and am confident the team will be going all out to get a huge majority of this years line up nailed down for 2021.

Echo are touring in May and are free on that weekend. Primal Scream seem to play everywhere so I'm sure they're an easy rebooking. Not sure about Flaming Lips, don't know if they're even in Europe then. It'll probably clash with one of the weekends of APE, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudger Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 That’s the last of my four festivals for this year gone then. Not unexpected but still sad. First time since 1985 my year has contained no festivals 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
