xxialac Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Would have thought we need certainly Spain (and probably the UK and possibly the US) to be nearish the top of this table by the Summer for the R-rate to be stable and the government to give the green light for the festival to go ahead in 2021, possibly in conjunction with testing. Vamos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vamos! the Optimistic assumption in Israel is that we will reach herd-immunity levels at around March-April. This is the very optimistic estimation, June is the more realistic date. And this is a country that's currently 30 times faster than Spain... Maybe when more vaccines gets approved, specifically those who doesn't require 2 doses and complicated transport and handling, things will speed up, but at the moment it doesn't look fast enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact Spain had planned to cover its whole population by a final phase they expected to conclude in September. Also the EU approved Moderna today and the focus will turn to delivery rather than supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that small indoor gigs should really come back before large outdoor festivals, it's not great it's so far out. Certainly does point to June as being pie-in-the-sky now. This new variant and slow start to vaccination have surely pushed us all back a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigi21 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Italian flight company Easyjet just canceled my flights. Apparently they canceled the whole Napoli-Barcelona route for the moment. I honestly don't know if it's worth booking another flight or I may just wait a little bit, but I think I'll be waiting. I'm so sad anyway.

whos3000 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 On 1/5/2021 at 3:43 PM, whos3000 said: June is out 100%. We should just take that as a starting point to speculate. Hopefully this will give them the chance to update a line up that is, yes, amazing but lacks of novelty. I mean Igor came out in 2019. I like the new abnormal but you can't really say it was the biggest music album of 2020. Maybe the only name they really hit the jackpot with is bad bunny. I mean he's the biggest artist in the world right now and he's far from being total crap as other artists of the same commercial appeal. My favourite new updates would be: -phoebe bridgers & phoebe bridgers + the national (come on, it wouls be so easy... Just book her and let them collab on stage!) -fiona apple (impossible) -duma (book them now cause they didn't tour the experimental festival circuit!!) I was forgetting how much headie one could be a super strong replacement btw (fire emoji)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrophobia Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 At this rate of vaccination, June is imossible and Sptember isn't very likely either. It will speed up eventuall, but the sheer physical limitations (logistics, facilities, staff) will mean a threshhold at some point where you cannot go any faster. Also, in a couple of weeks, everyone who already got one, will need to get their second shot, which will delay the process even further. I can imaginge 5.000 or so atendee festivals, but nothing the size of primavera this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the vaccination program in Spain like? Isn't it normal that vaccination is 'slow' in this phase? It's actually pretty crazy that we already started vaccinating people in all of Europe as early as january 10th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the other vaccinations gets used, especially the one-dose ones, things will speed up. I agree June is out of the question at the moment, but September can still happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnleynotbarcelona Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Matt Hancock (UK Health Secretary) has said this morning that they aim to offer every adult in the UK the vaccine "by Autumn". If it's comparable in the EU then I don't, diven the demograhic, unfortunately anticipate an early September global music festival being viable (I assume that literally no one is hanging onto the idea of Primavera taking place in early June this year). It's looking more and more like 2022 unless they can push it even further back this year. However an October "Primavera" (for example) would have a very, very different feel to June. Sadly the music industry was always going to be one of the last things back. The UK Cheif Medical Officer said the other day that he anticipates we'll still need (social distancing) measures next winter, regardless of the vaccine rollout. Hancock disagreed with that this morning - saying he hopes the vaccination programme would be enough. Hmm, CMO v Matt Hancock - I know whom I'd rather believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russian and Chinese? 😄 Most of the vaccines (approved/yet unauthorized) are double shots. The only one-dose vaccine I know about is Johnson&Johnson which probably won't be approved until March and the first supplies are expected in April.
