You can create another thread if you really want to.  But we probably have enough virus threads as it is.

U.K. summer is June -August, you’re just as likely to get good or bad weather in June as you are August. September would be a bit more dicey, as someone who spent a few years going to Bestival I’ve experienced bother glorious Sun, torrential rain and hurricanes.

Nope.

If anything, July and August are peak sunmer, June And September are at symmetrical points on the bell curve for both rainfall and temperature (June is slightly warmer and dryer but there's very little in it. We've had some lovely Septembers recently).

There are many good reasons not to move it to September, not least Neil's point about it not being a big enough gap, but I don't think the weather is different enough to be a factor.

I reckon this thread (these threads) would be about half the size if it wasn't for all the posts of people saying they hate the thread/not to post on it/make it go away etc.

I hadn't intended this thread to hang around.  I would have locked it after a couple of days if I could.

Covid-19 death toll jumps 36% in Italy

The death toll from an outbreak of coronavirus in Italy has jumped by 168 to 631, an increase of 36%, the Civil Protection Agency said on Tuesday, the largest rise in absolute numbers since the contagion came to light on 21 February, Reuters reports.

The total number of cases in Italy, the European country hardest hit by the virus in Europe, rose to 10,149 from a previous 9,172, an increase of 10.7%. 

The head of the agency said that, of those originally infected, 1,004 had fully recovered compared to 724 the day before. Some 877 people were in intensive care against a previous 733.

Geez! That’s horrible, a rapid rise over there. Hopefully the measures taken can result in an improvement.

I've seen a couple artists reschedule their March dates to June (JPEGMAFIA most recently). I feel like booking agents, venues, and promoters are all expecting there to be little interference with events by then.

Any other examples? And we’re the tours recheduled specifically because of the virus?
If so that filled me with hope (no doubt that hope will be stamped out too enough)

The most important question that's on everybody's lips (even those wearing a face mask) is:

How quick can we get this up to page 100?

There's not a ton off the top of my head, but SebastiAn moved a show in France to May, Pearl Jam postponed North American dates, but not the dates in June. There's a couple others though.

No, I just didn't want to clog up the forum with lots of threads on the same subject.

Cheltenham Festival( horse racing) is on at the moment, attracts roughly the same number of attendees as Glastonbury, it will be interesting to see if there is a spike in cases afterwards. They have put in hand sanitiser stations around the event. I think Glastonbury would have to go further, cleaning the toilets more often for instance.

I'd quite like it if the poll in this thread had the option of changing one's vote. I voted 'likely to happen' and I'm still in that camp but would be interesting (and  >maybe<  informative? ) if the poll result could change to reflect the current situation.

Obviously am teetering on the point of changing my vote to 'It's happening'
