Festcrazy Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 It's not a problem about going on, acts are problem. Can't see US bands touring for a long time unfortunately. Without vaccine slight hope for US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrej Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I read an interview somewhere with one of the top managers, and he said that club level in the winter and early spring will be a good indication if there will be a festival season next summer. Cause if you cant put 1,000 or 1,500 people in a club anywhere in Europe in lets say March, then you most definitely will not be able to have 40,000 or 50,000 people in a field somewhere in May or June. So if later this year we see some cancellations on the club touring level in Feb / March period, then it doesnt look good for next summer. But if these shows go on, and people do start packing up clubs back again, the festival season could indeed go ahead. It all depends on vaccine now i guess. It also depends on how long the festivals can wait before they pull the plug. I guess they dont have to make a decision as early as this Nov / Dec. But then again, they can hardly wait until April with a decision. Must be before then, something like Feb seems reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Festcrazy Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Think it's more likely that we'll have festivals in Europe than in the US, but again there is a problem: How to put US acts and all crew on festival without quarantine? Things with club limit will be the most crucial in the US: if they are able to handle 1500 ppl inside, you know that festivals will be likely.

xxialac Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I think the debate is being overcomplicated. The one and only means for it to go ahead as reasonably normal next years is with a successful implemented vaccine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? He’s quite optimistic, no? Of course there’s always a chance things will continue being bad in 2021, but let’s not think about that will we 😉. I’m pretty confident about next year.

I don't agree with either of your conclusions on what he says! He is neither pessimistic nor optimistic - he says it might go ahead, it might not. That makes him a realist as he can't know whether vaccine measures will be successfully in place by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveje Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Slightly related, and indicative of the ongoing realities around touring.... Sparks were originally supposed to be touring in the autumn. They've just announced that the tour has now been postponed to next year, with Primavera still planned.

xxialac Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 "A newly developed saliva test aims to determine in less than a second whether or not you are infected with Covid-19, Israel’s largest medical centre said." There's been an assumption that the festival will only go ahead with a vaccine but if this type of technology develops to the point where it's accurate, it provides a viable alternative for events like festivals. The cost is 25 cents per test. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES. And what sort of twisted individual would want to go to a festival for 50,000 people anyway, knowing they had a very contagious and deadly illness?
