Electric Picnic canceled, dont think itll have any impact on the lineup (hopefully) as they rescheduled it for a few weeks later. 

Looks like it’s cancelled altogether

They also hadn’t announced any bands and then said was only available to double vaccinated people.

Hopefully no bearing on EOTR though

Spanish study has shown that people attending outdoor festivals with antigen testing and no social distancing were 76% more likely to get covid.

Not saying for a moment that EOTR shouldn’t go ahead but is worth acknowledging the risk is higher. 

I'm probably preaching to the choir then, but get at least one jab before coming people. The difference in your health is stark.

A pal lives with an anti vax person. They both got Covid. My pal was single jabbed, felt poorly for 3 days, then was on the mend and fine within a week. His unvaxxed room mate was bed ridden for 2 weeks

That Spanish study was for 100k people over 3 festivals and not clear the number of vaccinated.  I'm fairly cautious about Covid even after double vaccinations but I don't think the risk is comparable at EOTR which will be a smaller, older and more vaccinated crowd.

[Dancers Stand Very Still]

On an individual basis there is undoubtedly some degree of risk, but for me it's one with taking because of the mental health and wellbeing boost desperately needed at this point. Just being able to do this for two weeks already has made an incredible difference. 

I've felt considerably safer at the festival I've done (Latitude) as opposed to most of the gigs. There is always the option to remain at outdoor stages, as well. I imagine EotR crowd will be more respectful and with a higher vax/2vax percentage too.

AND EOTR is 6 weeks after Latitude when more people have been vaccinated and, if present trends continue, infection rates should be much lower.

Hot Chip Friday

I imagine it's unlikely we'll get Late Junction stuff this year, unless it's all UK acts. A shame because it's one of my favourite elements of the festival.

Well true but also true:

- They were wearing masks in Spain, which won't happen at EOTR

- Spain in fact has a higher vaccination rate than the UK (the UK govt is very good at not reporting this)

I think the risk is likely comparable but the risk is low.

Casually dropping Damon in there like nothing 

[Guy Incognito]

[zahidf]

Damon Albarn added. Tuneyards and loads of others taken off, with some replacements for them

[xxialac]

Albarn a good add!

Bit gutted no Beak (or the Anchoress or Margaret Glapsy…)

[shoebox]

Shame to have lost Tune-Yards, Whitney, Blanck Mass, DTB and Disq, but the additions of Damon and Crack Cloud is pretty bloody great.

[xxialac]

Spoiler for Albarn

Trying to work out who else has been added. The playlist is currently updating and I see Lorraine James and Kiran Leonard there. Has anyone worked out the definitive list yet?

[wolfamongwolves]

Expected the loss of a lot of the overseas acts. Did not expect to lose Blanck Mass

Great news Crack Cloud 

[Mardy]

No Beak> on that updated poster?

[Guy Incognito]

Loraine James will be one of the sets of the weekend.

My first reaction to the Damon Albarn news was very "meh", based on his solo stuff, but if he offers up a mix like that it should be good.

Fantastic addition for the fest, even though personally he bores me to tears outside of the obvious big tunes. Id imagine today isnt the last revision of the lineup.

[robith]

Sad to lose Disq and Blanck Mass, but gotta be realistic about the situation we find ourselves in. Think it's pretty fucking stellar giving the parameters.

Damon is a bit of a coup for them?

Graham Coxon has played EOTR before. Now if they could only get them there at the same time!

[Gilgamesh69]

But why have we lost Shygirl and Anchoress? They're both British!

[xxialac]

We'll lose a couple more to Covid too.

Hope they have Beak on standby...
