Deaf Nobby Burton Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I’ve not got involved in the predictions, but seeing as last years was earlier than ever I reckon this years will be later than that, so towards the end of next week.

For what its worth they probably don't want to hype everyone up just to cancel it a month later. Disclosure put uk tickets on sale this morning and just cancelled their european dates this evening hilariously. Don't think it would be that quick but I personally don't want to get hyped up for nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory Man Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) They’ll be delaying as long as possible now. Whats the point of even announcing acts if they have no update on whether it can proceed or if they should even bother to ask people to pay. As another poster states above they’d be wise to publish details of what happens in the event of cancellation just before balances open and maybe we’ll get some acts then. I expect nothing much until just before the end of the month. You cant be seen to be hyping an event where there is a question of whether it might even go ahead.

I expect nothing much until just before the end of the month. You cant be seen to be hyping an event where there is a question of whether it might even go ahead. They'll be needing the balance payments in order to keep on planning (and paying for) the festival. I can't really see that being delayed, especially as there's not really any difference between refunding a deposit and refunding the whole amount. As the next announcement is planned to be somewhen around the same time as the govt is likely to announce further measures they might hold that announcement back until the further measures have been announced, as it is likely to only be a few days or so. Outside of those dates (about) coinciding I can't really see any point in not working to what they had planned. Other festivals continue to announce, and Festival Republic are making clear their festivals will be going ahead unless they have cancellation forced on them by govt. I can't see why Glasto need to take a different approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Man Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I wasnt suggesting balances would be delayed, rather if they were going to put a poster out in the next few days (unlikely) i could see it now being at the end of the month (the more likely scenario corona or not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy0808 v5 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Could we contact the Chief medical advisor and get his prediction as to when the lineup may drop? May help us better understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasperella Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I got an email from Reading yesterday saying that for now the festival is going ahead, they take health and safety seriously and are working with experts blah blah. Am I right in thinking Glastonbury have said nothing official? Seems a little odd if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I had the email from Reading and a marathon I'm doing in April saying no change but no comment from Glasto or BST yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see why Glasto need to take a different approach. I'd have thought that most festivals (and events) will wait to be told by the government to cancel for insurance purposes. I can't imagine getting payout for any sort of cover including loss of earnings would apply if the organisers chose to cancel before having their hand forced, especially if similar gathering are being held around the country.

My friend also said she had a radio 4 DJ saying they'd heard from Emily planning was going ahead, but it's still not quite the same...

Am I right in thinking Glastonbury have said nothing official? Seems a little odd if so. Festival Republic/Live Nation are using the same words for all festies & gigs. Makes sense. The only word from Glastonbury was via a Somerset Live article, which said planning was going forwards as normal. There's not really anything different they could say. We all know the score, so I don't really see any point in a statement from Glastonbury. It's hugely unlikely they'll choose to cancel themselves - although if they were considering it they wouldn't say it publicly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one caveat to that is that insurance might choose to pay out before cancellation is forced on events, on the basis there'd be lower losses to cover on a cancellation now than a cancellation later. I would have thought that would be within the thinking of insurance companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
