so what are peoples thoughts for indoor gigs then ? is March too optimistic ? 

March might be doable but I think this sort of time period depends on them being able to lock in cheap testing. I don't think we'll be at a point where the vaccine will be having a hugely noticeable effect yet, that'll be further into spring.

is that in response to my question ? I hope so  if it is 

Ha no, sorry mate! March still seems a tad early for indoor gigs but hey, they might up with a decent crowd for the darts coming up so who knows. I can see some gigs going ahead, maybe pilots, but It’ll be complex because the acts need to be able to make money from it, which seems impossible if you’re looking at such small numbers. I’d reckon any tours currently booked in for March won’t happen, but you may have some people popping up with last minute shows if it allows (thinking Frank Turner for one)

Really hope its not. I have Kiwanuka and The Lancashire Hotpots on Easter weekend!

That's a combo I never thought I'd see!

How many threads have we had now on Glastonbury 21 going ahead? 😂

 

It’s definitely going ahead, even without the vaccine news it was still going to go ahead. Come to the 100% crew, we have cake.

I think only 2 where you have offered cake ?

Still at 50:50 even with the Oxford news.

I feel we need to be back at something close to ‘normal’ by March for the go/no-go.

Also a bit worried about mutations, which will banjax a vaccine rollout. 

Will feel more confident when the parents and in-laws get jabbed. Too much conjecture about timescales at the moment.

My worry is for Man Utd, international travel is still banned so how will their fans get in to the country?

This is a couple of months old but one music promoter was aiming for 8th April. That still feels slightly ambitious to me just now but if everything goes to plan that might just work out perfectly.

That works for me; first gig I have is booked for the 11th.

[kalifire]

It's the unanswerable question and polls like this are just gestures in pipe dreams.

puts pay to the OD tour just before .... maybe they might be able to run the european dates just after ..... Hopefully things might have inched forward a little from that ...

Let’s wait to see what next months poll says 😉

[squirrelarmy]

We really need a live swingometer gauging peoples current mood or have the option to change your vote on the poll. 

[Crazyfool01]

can we run a poll after its announced its happening ?

God bojo is annoying innit.

I feel like once vaccines roll out and things start moving to normality again the public will vote him in again. Cognitive dissonance

The Tories will get rid of him next year I would imagine.
