If they even have a resale that is.  But you could change that year to 2023 and itll be like all the fallow years combined with demand that comes with it. If See Tickets could show us the queue of people it would dwarf what R+L just had.

Yeah I've resigned myself to it being 2023 at the earliest now. There'll be  resale because I think its impossible that there is nobody who's circumstances have changed in that time, but it'll be minimal

I would happily pay money to watch the Subways play live at the moment. Or Reverand and the Makers

Any live music with a beer seems like utopia just now

 

Go easy now, I have seen Revered and The Makers and I'd rather be in lockdown than go through that again.

Jesus. Corby - 343 infection rate. 

 

64 % voted leave. 

 

I do find the correlation with the remain/ leave vote and vaccine skeptics interesting. 

 

Any thoughts?

 

I don’t think there is much in the way of a link between vaccine scepticism and leave voters but there has been quite a few articles in lockdown scepticism and leave voters though.

Pretty much the same Brexit result here in Peterborough, and we’re second

I know it shouldn't but won't upping corporation tax just mean companies lay off more people? 

that article is about taxing wealthy pensioners. All very labour...except is this right time to be doing this? Does it indicate that Sunak wants to start paying off the deficit sooner rather than later?

I saw this so it does seem to be that if you voted leave you are less likely to get the vaccine. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/covid-vaccine-polling-hesitancy-support-brexit-voter-leave-oxford-university/

Wonder how many of people in this demographic have a Union Jack in their Twitter profile, and/or a bulldog tattoo.

It's not even that - it's talking about taxing people who have saved over £1 million in their pension pot. And it's not even introducing a new tax, it's just not increasing the cap as expected. I'd say it is the right time to be doing it as lots of people will have saved a lot of money this year (where they've remained in work, but without travel costs and not spending on holidays, etc) - this encourages them to spend that money rather than stick it all in a pension pot.

    • Judging by last night at Wembley, Luke Combs should be in the conversation of headliner. The UK is having a moment with country music so I don't think it would be particularly left field either. 
    • Just listed on Twickets  
    • It feels really busy this year, loads of big groups of youngsters too. Slightly different vibe to previous years I've been. As with Tramlines, they're very chatty during sets and there's a constant stream of them in and out of the crowd... definitely feeling my age 😂   The Quarry stage I think is a lot smaller than previous years - seems similar size to Squid/Leadmill. Some sets have been difficult to get in.   I think I've reached my limit with mid-tier indie guitar bands. There's been quite a few this weekend where I've gone over to see them then walked away after 20 mins. Surprisingly, enjoyed the Fratellis set the most in this genre. Probably getting on for 20 years since I last saw them. Wasn't expecting them to do Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, which was fab!   Hugely enjoyed the Happy Mondays yesterday, and same but different with Radio Free Alice who I saw again on Friday, following Tramlines last weekend. A big run of pop acts today - Scissor Sisters will be fantastic!
