The US raising the threat level from the UK to Level 4 and recommending avoiding travel to the UK won't help with US bands coming over:

Inevitable. 

The lineup will be vastly different if it actually happens.

Jane Weaver, Penelope Isles (ooh, prog !), Fenne Lily, David TB (is he coming).  The more I look the more I get excited by everything underneath the headliners.

I really like Penelope Isles on record but must admit thought they were not very interesting playing live.

I thought they were fantastic when I saw them!

Never listened to their records but in a small Cambridge social club (NCI) just before Lockdown the sound was tight and springy and it just worked.

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis just announced that they are playing in Poole on Thursday 2nd, and have a gap on the 3rd.

Just saying...

I hope so, not just for the occasion but because I just checked my closest date of the tour and the cheapest tickets are £56.

[Losing my hair]

Coach bookings are now open - bit by bit we're getting there.

Yeah nice to get an email this morning and playing or not, Cave announcing a tour is great news for live gigs in general.

Someones confident anyway right?.....

At this moment, eotr have still not opened twickets for resale ) I'm selling my ticket as can't/won't travel from Spain. they also haven't let anyone book the festival coach yet, no comedy stage announcements...the list goes on.

It's all getting a little late now for those wanting to plan their trip and who to see etc, it's usually all sorted way before now. 

I have been in contact with Twickets as trying to set up an alert for when the tickets go on sale (i have a ticket but asking for a friend). App kept crashing every time i tried to save.

 

When they came back asking for some details so can look into crash they mentioned 'We are still waiting for the go-ahead to open resales for EOTR, but we anticipate it should be towards the end of the first week in August.'

Saw the Tweet about revised opening times as well; carpark 10am with gates at 11am....happy days

That is good, presumably know will take longer to get people through the gates having to show vaccination proof/LFR test results.

 

I won't be coming until lunchtime anyway as my son's first day back at school then home to pack and drive but hopefiully will mean queues have died down by the time i arrive!

I often hear this said but in reality glancing at a piece of paper/phone screen takes 2 seconds and shouldn’t add to the time to get in.

Would love the day splits. Fingers crossed still possible this week.

Scanning the QR code and waiting for the result to show up, plus in all likelihood an extra electronic temperature check before then, all adds up across 15,000 people, though.

I doubt we'll get day splits or any other lineup announcements this week because if they were ready to reveal them they'd have done so alongside this update.

I'll also be carrying my little card that has both jab details on it; hopefully this will do as proof considering some people don't have a smart phone.

If EOTR run it the same way as other festivals, then without a smartphone you'll need to either print off the PDF version, or request a letter is sent to you. Details at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nhs-covid-pass

[SighMo]

I've got the ap on my iphone and the pdf file on there too; just thought if they're happy to look at the card it'd be quicker.

Surely they would need to cross reference the name on the app/pdf with your ticket name to make sure they weren't borrowing a screenshot of a friend's pass... Or write a program to do this (bit short notice). But maybe they are opening earlier to allow time for a longer checking in process 😞

pretty certain the card won't be sufficient.

 

Not sure if they will check names on tickets as think they just have lead booker's name? Probably need some form of id to show the name on the covid certificate is you. EDIT just checked on the Latitude website, they are saying need to show NHS app or printed version, no mention of proving it's yours!

 

We should find out soon as, on checking my email junk box, have had an email about the coach tickets and opening up early, the email also states:

 

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES

We're currently finalising plans for entry requirements at EOTR 2021, and we will be in touch with more info soon.

Edited July 20, 2021 by jamesrfisher

[goldengirl]

I just checked and reading-Leeds & Latitude are double vaccinated or previous lateral flow, no testing on the doors. Bound to be the same surely, which is fine. 

[Ichacu]

seeing a gap in teenage fanclubs touring schedule the weekend of EOTR, possible announcement? theyre playing spain the week before but they could still play the sunday with a weeks quarantine

This is what's worrying me. It's ok for people in England - but the app isn't connecting to our NHS for that.

[Losing my hair]

This is the advice from Green Man FAQs - https://www.greenman.net/information/faqs/ , I would expect EOTR to be similar.

WILL YOU NEED A VACCINE OR TEST TO ATTEND?
Yes - anyone over the age of 16 attending the festival will have to demonstrate they have received a negative NHS lateral flow test within 48hrs prior to their arrival, or demonstrate that they have received 2 vaccinations at least 14 days prior to their arrival.

All the above can be proved by using the NHS Covid Pass and we will be asking all attendees to use this as proof of entry. You can download it to your phone, or print out a paper copy (only works for vaccination status not test results).

If you cannot use the NHS Covid Pass we will also be accepting the following proofs.
• A text message, email, or screenshot from NHS Test and Trace showing a negative result within the last 48 hours.
• Proof of vaccination from Wales or Scotland. Those from Wales and Scotland can provide their vaccination records (i.e proof of vaccine in paper format, not your vaccine appointment card) to show they have had both doses.

[Losing my hair]

It's as well to note that the NHS Covid Pass and the NHS Vaccination record is not the same document. The Covid Pass is time limited, mine currently expires on 11th August, so I'll just renew that for Green Man and i expect EOTR

Most festival announcements since the Green Man one have tightened up on the lateral flow time period, stating that it must be done on the day of travel prior to leaving for the festival. I think they view 48 hours as providing too much opportunity for socialising after the test is taken.

How does that work? I thought a Lateral Flow test was like a home pregnancy kit?
