As in where she tweeted ‘not cancelled yet!’ ? 
This has been discussed a fair bit a few pages back, but yea I agree it doesn’t look good, definitely not a certain no though.

No, it’s today.

Thank you!

I don’t think that’s particularly negative (and I usually ere on the side of caution with my optimism!) To me that could read either way, sounds to me like she’s just responding enthusiastically in general.

What else would she say to that?

I meant it as a positive, as in what else would she say?

This is efests right? 😉

Surely Emily was just being generally affirmative. “Absolutely” she hopes for 2021 festival and “absolutely” if it doesn’t happen then 2022 will be one hell of a party. Both things can be true.

I had a strange dream last night. Emily, Michael and guests were on TV for a New Years Eve special. It was just them talking, some small sets, etc. Like a Glasto hootenanny. It was only in a little studio set but...

 

...at midnight they knocked the back down to reveal the pyramid stage behind them, and on it was Macca playing!

The headline is misleading though. It's not exactly what he said

I wonder if he had some PR coaching before he went in for his jab  ? - its neither a confirm nor deny about 2021

I reckon after his “definitely happening with millions of people” video the other day, the rest of the team might have suggested he reigns it in a little... just in case

Posts seem to be petering out on this thread. A sign that optimism is being extinguished? 🤔

The 2021 headliners thread is alive and kicking however, or maybe we should just close that thread given you're so certain it's not going to happen?

It keeps people occupied. Let 'em dream on, it doesn't hurt anyone. People don't want to surrender to reality quite yet.

I think a lot hangs on to what happens in the coming weeks so I suspect many are waiting to see if the vaccine rollout picks up the pace and if Boris stops pissing about and locks us down properly.

Not given up hope but despite the prospect of mass vaccination the numbers are heavily going the wrong way. Going to take more than the vaccination of the elderly & vulnerable to sever the serpents head. Mrs L's unit now getting more admissions of working age than elderly/vulnerable. Seen similar data being published by London hospitals.

I appreciate you’re in a better position to comment on such a thing, but at the same time how can such a swing even be possible, unless the vaccine is having a unlikely early impact?

Graph shows rates per 100,000 of each age group. You need to consider the population size of each age group in order to make a true comparison of number of cases presenting by age.

Its all on the vaccine roll out now. Can't get numbers down with lockdowns id have thought much longer. Be a tough couple of months but I think we should know much more of the situation by beginning Feb.
