FestivalJamie Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Don't get your hopes up too high, can't see any festivals going ahead at this point this year, especially not in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Let's make this clear. 2000trees are in no position to say that it's 100% going ahead. It could, and maybe will, be a decision made above their heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of understand festivals going ahead with things as normal until they can though, but I know 2000 trees have been particularly adamant that they’re going ahead, which is a bit weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack.194 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I know there was supposed to be a second announcement this month, that only leaves today or tomorrow. Does anyone think they’ve cancelled the announcement as a result of the whole coronavirus situation? Can’t see them announcing more acts with things as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we’ll be getting any more acts before the cancellation announcement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack.194 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 So looks like no announcement in March as originally planned, not looking good for the fest going ahead. Although, they’re still pretty active on Twitter, you’d think they’d slow down if a cancellation was coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonybyates Posted April 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 I wouldn’t be surprised by a rescheduling to late September to be honest. the first ever Truck was in Sept. ‘98 and in the summer floods of 2007 they rescheduled to September too.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can hope. Would be happier with that possibly for my personal situation (than it being in July regardless of circumstances) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FestivalJamie Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 It definitely won't be going ahead in July, things are starting to get axed in August now so there's no chance of a late July festival taking place, hence why they probably haven't done a second announcement. Rescheduling seems like a possibility, but also a risky move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlierc Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Edinburgh Festival's organisers did say they might try for a reduced version if lockdown is eased in time. But as it stands, yeah, the whole thing has been cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FestivalJamie Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 WOMAD cancelled at end of July now too. Only a matter of time before all the July festivals announce cancellation I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woby_Tide Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 I was holding out hope with the talk of a September date but speaking to a friend in the Police planning department where I live today I think my hopes have been dashed. They haven’t the numbers to police life as it currently is so all licence applications are being rejected, if schools aren’t back till September I think gatherings will suffer until then too. we can but hope for a miracle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomised Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Sussex. All exams are cancelled here anyway as they are nationally. This is a primary/junior school and I get the impression they are talking one day a week per year group to aid transition to the year they are going to particularly useful to those making the step to secondary. I doubt it will be a return to proper education and mich more an easing back into the environment1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they can secure some of this year's line up for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWaters Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hope they do the same thing as ynot. I’ll probably let my ticket roll over to next year. Already got early entry but I’ll happily accept VIP and free parking, plus it’ll mean I deffo have a fest next year and don’t have to worry about paying for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
