Denied by Hancock.... meaning its 100% in the pipeline 

[Leyrulion]

How many road maps are we on now?

I'll believe it when I'm half cut in a field dancing.

Hes denied the story of us hosting the Euros so with that I'd assume that's him denying the festivals side too, however as the story came from The Times then I expect both to have some truth around them

Maybe socially distanced festivals we seen last summer, but no way will they be going ahead without restrictions that early.

It has made me a little more confident for Bearded now though!

[Neville Street]

This has given me some hope for BDs/EOTR in August/September, fingers crossed 🙂

Yup agreed. By end of July I think we will be having mass gatherings without restrictions.

A snapshot of the media throughout the whole pandemic.

Absolutely. They very carefully craft bombastically-worded headlines with zero substance behind the actual article. All guesswork, assumptions, no-stories and half-truths. I really hope the general public learn to see through it all one day. Creating a thread on the back of it seems unnecessary, particularly as the OP itself seems to buy into the misleading nature of the article

It is a festival forum, so I think it's fair enough to highlight it. It might not be true of course, but nothing wrong with giving people a bit of hope!

[SwedgeAntilles]

Nothing's surer to suck the hope out of you than seeing another covid-related thread.

Absolutely zero faith in anything the UK government says, leaked or not. They’re a bunch of incompetent c**ts who have failed their electorate on every single level. 

[Joshuwarr]

If we are working towards a timeline of everyone being offered a vaccine by the end of July then it would seem quite bizarre to not have some festivals get the green light this summer...

Reading and Leeds can just ask for a vaccine passport if that timeline holds or is met sooner. Majority of ticket holders are from the uk so  all theyll have to do is meet any other guidelines put into place. And I imagine those will change daily because there can never be consistency of protocols or message. If any ticket holder does not agree with the policy you can rollover to 2022.

Bristol harbourside has just cancelled all its June gigs rolled over from last year.

Reading and Leeds might struggle demanding a vaccination passport as the average age seems to be barely 18. Maybe that’s me getting old

negative test the within a week should be enough.

21st June for all restrictions gone and large gatherings!

I wonder if IOW and Download may push back a couple of weeks to make this happen. Especially now Glastonbury weekend is free.

i'm sure someone who claimed to be well informed said there'd be none of that only big big caution.
