Will they be supplying mobile phones too? Both Australia and New Zealand have hotel quarantine for all arrivals (nationals) on arrival. I did it myself in November.

nikkic Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Been looking at alternatives all weekend but am yet to pull the trigger and buy a ticket. Mainly because the majority of my festival buddies don’t think any will go ahead this year. Are we being overly optimistic in here?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said they won't bring that in here in the UK, not a chance. Anyway taking this discussion over to the 'When will this shit end?' thread as it's more relevant there than here. https://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/topic/233675-when-will-this-shit-end/?do=findComment&comment=6079317 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986 Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Got tix to The National day at Best Kept Secret in Amsterdam but since that's scheduled before Glastonbury I'm just waiting for the axe to drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullShaboo Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Just remembered about BIME festival in Bilbao. Usually late October / Early November and is a nice mix between electronic and rock. Had some quality headliners over the years; Kraftwork, Prodigy, Aphex Twin, Foals, Jamiroquai and MGMT to name a few. No information yet for 2021 but its one ill be keeping my eye on!

No chance of getting my partner to commit to something this far out with the way things are! So ultimately if I do get to one it'll depend on what's still got tickets for sale...

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 I’d be confident of some festivals happening. Glastonbury is a complete outlier, most festivals are commercial enterprises, if they don’t happen they don’t make any money. Many will have no choice but to try their absolute hardest to make them happen. No other festival apart from Glastonbury can afford to say ‘oh well, let’s just lay low until next year’.

I'm thinking about giving it a go given it's pretty local to me and I have a moderate interest in Craft Beer (prefer Cask, but hey ho...) Just bought tickets for this. They're doing 4 for the price of 3, which made it £99 pp including fees. It's the weekend before Glasto, so that's against it. On the other hand they seem pretty bullish about being able to pull it off, and if not, I guess I get refunded: https://bigfootfestival.co.uk/info/covid-safety-ticket-policy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to have sold out of the standard campervan tickets already so if you are thinking of going in a camper you might need to hunt around for a ticket or pay for the rather expensive live in vehicle over 6 x 9m option. I went to Camper Calling on the same site in 2018 and its a quite nice venue. If the weather is good it should make for a decent festival. However the traffic trying to get in was an issue as it was directed in a large loop around the perimeter which took hours of sitting in traffic to clear. Hopefully that is now sorted as it must have been a nightmare for both attendees and the locals trying to get past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gherring8 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just grabbed a Shambala ticket. Still 50/50 if it will go ahead but as it’s not until August Bank Holiday weekend I want to believe it stands a slight chance. They also give the option for a refund up until 4 weeks before or automatically rollover to 2022 if it can’t go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amfy Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just decided to book Bearded tonight. It could be hard to get an Oxfam place but more and more I maybe need to just have one chance to just kick back in a field somewhere this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I am with it. Will hopefully go to one, but I'm not convinced enough about events this summer to book yet. Appreciate my options might be a bit limited if I leave it too long, but going to wait and see for a bit. I'm hopeful, though, and it cheers me up to look at options!
