Hopefully the first of many! Was there last night. Can't tell you how nice it was to be outside with people and bouncing around to music. Man I missed it. I even enjoyed Tom Walker, I did keep telling him off for leaving the light on.

With the other sporting events it's been a bit different to a festival as they are seated, but golf is similar to a festival in terms of its lots of people standing in close proximity. Just a bit worried that it's people with influence/connections to the government that are allowed to have test events rather than events in general being allowed. Doesn't bode well for the smaller festivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't bode well for the smaller festivals Except it isn't really different, is it? 25000 at Kendal Calling vs 145000 at the Grand Prix. No way are you 'better protected' from mixing and transmission if you're in a place with almost six times as many people. It's a joke. Bottom line is that there will be no world media showing thousands of waving Union Flags from Kendal Calling... Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelhouse festival in Wales seem to be talking positively in their tweets, that’s in about 4 weeks so we’re pretty close to decision day I would have thought.

Yeah it could be even less likely due to wales seemingly wanting to be a lot more cautious however if 19 july goes ahead in england then really it must do in wales as there is no meaningful border so everyone from wales would just pile into england to do what they want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Yep my thoughts exactly - connections / money / shutting up people speaking against them in the media (ALW, Melvin Benn etc) This events research programme will help us for next year but I don't believe theyll let any happen this year without being under that umbrella. That said, we'd need a completely restriction free winter for insurance to be given for festivals next year so I wouldn't be surprised if we're having these same conversations this time next year Edited June 21, 2021 by efcfanwirral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with seating as long as it's not over half the capacity most but this is purely just on greed and money. They won't be able to pass R&L like they can this. If Reading becomes a pilot event then expect to be doing PCR tests for it this time next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of these 'pilots' actually have any science surronding them now either, or has it just become a badge awarded to those with the right connections... Beautiful Days still seems to be on - no update on their status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
