I’ll be more upset looking at all these acts I’ve dreamed about seeing and then it’s cancelled (praying it’s not). Ive got caught up in the whole it’s not going to happen and can’t find the logic to talk myself out of it Yeh, my general excitement is lower than normal. It almost seems crazy that the poster is coming so soon...I guess because my attention has been diverted to other things. But then maybe this is just how normal, non-obsessed feel about the poster drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantkatestacks Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Breaking news: I am not now travelling for work next week for obvious and tedious reasons and so apologies @kalifire but that fail safe prediction of it always happening when I'm away may be looking a bit shaky.

Chef Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Could this be related? Seems odd for a comedian to embargo their own gigs so suspect it’s either part of some kind of festival or something different like a TV show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hmm I suspect it's unrelated. Have Latitude dropped their comedy lineup yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwladboy Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 I just think it’s unlikely they are going to announce right now and then face all the inevitable negative publicity. There will be headlines like ‘Glastonbury line up announced but will it go ahead?’ Or the Eavi will get some dick reporters saying they are putting peoples lives at risk and it shouldn’t go ahead. I’d say lay low, let it calm down for a few weeks then announce later than usual and just before balances are due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know it, like any other event, may not be able to happen, but I’m sure the organisers carry on with business as usual until then.

Matt42 Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 First day I’ve actually felt it in my bones. Wonder if after getting a provisional thumbs up that it’s going ahead, full steam ahead for bookings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose my point is that the media don’t generally care about all those others. Anything Glastonbury is an easy headline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
