Which is why releasing the stage times earlier might not make sense. We may even see a few cancellations over the weekend. Yep, presume it'll be the same regs for them as for us, i.e negative LFT in the 48 hours prior to arrival. If some of them aren't arriving to play until Sunday, they might not drop out till Sat.

Sure, but saying "look at the programme" makes even less sense given that it was likely printed over a week ago.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as the programmes will all be (very slightly) wrong, I don't see any distinction with set times posted online being very slightly wrong too. Experience of other festivals is very few cancellations. Weren’t any at all at APE day i went to on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big hog Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 No doubt you'll want to check the boards in the morning regardless in case of drop outs and changes. But I think posting the stage times as they're printed is still a reasonable and standard thing to expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was AFAIK one at Green Man (Aoife Nessa Frances, who before anyone runs with this is currently touring) and it's unclear whether that was actually Covid-related. Thing here is because this board has been so broadly negative over the last few months people have got it into their head that loads of acts are obviously going to pull out, which hasn't really been the case anywhere. In any case, whatever the reason for not releasing times in advance (which Green Man do for Thursdays if not the rest of the week, presumably so you know what time to get there) it's not because of potential pullouts or no festival/event would be doing it. There have always been late withdrawls from festival bills for illness or travel reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Are people just looking for a whinge? Yeah stage times would be nice but we kinda know when acts are playing. Hardly like they're saying "the festival might be cancelled but turn up anyway and see". Can fine tune the gigs when we're there if needs be. They'll be on the board for all to see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to a lot if festivals and even in covid times they've always shared the set times. It’s a totally valid complaint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robith Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 it's annoying and a bit shoddy, but Glastonbury this is not. You could legitimately watch 15 minutes of every band playing at this festival. How much planning really can you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 It costs them nothing to post them and they know only too well that their paying customers like set times. It is not relevant whether that is rational Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoebox Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Look, I like to plan as much as the next man, but Christ, get some perspective. They're made a decision not to post the times beforehand, deal with it. The sense of entitlement coming over regarding these set times is quite pathetic really. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
