xxialac Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 1 hour ago, Ohjesus said: No, I assumed the subtext there was no PS2021. the Europe touring thing meanwhile is a complete expensive shitshow. There’s currently a petition to get the government to debate it. Really bad, with lots of red tape/charges for things - right down to instruments - apparently. The UK massively punches above its weight for popular music. I fear the worst hit will be small bands who won't be able to justify the costs. And without touring they won't be able to grow into big bands and the scene will feel increasingly stale. Such an own goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnmentaluk Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Just checked for new dates in September for my hotel. Is sold out. The hotel is the ibis at glories. Don't know what it means as is a fair distance from the forum. Edited December 31, 2020 by Fnmentaluk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnleynotbarcelona Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Should be noted that the 11th September is National Day of Catalonia. Don’t know if it still stands but used to be free entry into all museums, etc. Could be behind some (provisional) bookings for that weekend in Barcelona.

whos3000 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I am going to be vaccinated the day after tomorrow so I should be positive but I really don't see any concert happening in july. The most realistic scenario for most of the following year is similar to what happened this summer. Still don't know what to think about september. It might be far enough?

whos3000 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Does anyone have a suggestion on where to find a good (quality price wise) hotel for the new dates? Which website? Booking doesn't have much offer right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which website? Booking doesn't have much offer right now Tripadvisor or kayak but, yeah, it's a weird time where many hotels are closed and not taking bookings yet. Whatever you do, make sure it's fully refundable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't think there's a whelk's chance in a supernova that June will happen. September at least is vaguely credible. BTW, does anyone know what the situation is for UK bands wanting to tour Europe, now that Brexit is a reality? Anything over 90 days in a 180 day period spend in Europe and they have to get a Visa, as far as I understand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all the custom forms for the band kit. As far as I understand. The artist will need a visa for each country they visit and customs forms as well. So a visiting 5 countries on a tour means 5 visas and 5 sets of custom forms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohjesus Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I read this mad thing about vintage instruments too, whereby some kinds/ages of wood might not be allowed in certain countries without certification - spells trouble for old guitars, drum kits, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB15 Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I’d really like for the new dates to not be early September as I’m getting married then and there’s not a chance I’ll get a pass to go to Primavera the weekend after the wedding!

You're not taking her to a crowded music festival in Barcelona, you're taking her on a romantic trip to the Costa Brava. It's a 2 hour round trip so fit it in one of the days and, bingo, you've told the truth. Or discreetly slip it into the marriage vows: "to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, to go to primavera next week, till death us do part" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveje Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Just to clarify, this idea of new dates is based purely on hotel booking availability and on absolutely no other information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe so - ken19 on here said ‘a solution’ was coming soon though and many hotels near the fest site are still available with only the usual seasonal price increase.

daveje Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Exactly. From what I could read, it's not even the usual hotel that's fully booked. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohjesus Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Maybe we should look for hotels that should be booked out for the June date that are now oddly available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
