Or have manual verification of the photos. Possible but at the scale these tests are operating expensive and tbh not worth it for the few dickheads that'd test positive and still go. If they made people send photos of their tests I'm sure they could pay serco £1000per hour (with just under minimum wage going to the employees of course) to get a few in to to spot check some tests and hand out some large fines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Glastonbury to go ahead, it’ll be essential for other large events to take place without incident or for lessons to be learned.

TGCarr Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 Funnily Cresmfields is the only major festival now to not tweet anything since the announcement yesterday. But they've dispatched tickets yesterday 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuie Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 Sadly, on the day Noisily was supposed to start, this thread disappeared to Page 2. Have we all given up any hope now? I'm very happy for the people at Wembley - and for the nation, but after last night... but I can't help feeling we've been kicked in our communal bollocks. Watching those scenes and still not being able to do what we love is total bullshit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I'm with you - making me resent the football to be honest, I'm not particularly happy for them out of bitterness around the long term effects on the music industry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching those scenes and still not being able to do what we love is total bullshit. Hope of what? I can't see why anyone would have given up hope of festivals going ahead, it looks more positive right now than it has done in a while. There's at least two - Latitude and Standon Calling - that have already started their builds and open their gates in a fortnight - Standon in particular will be the first non-distanced, non-ERP camping festival to take place in nearly 2 years and so if they're ok to proceed then other events should be as well. Yes, obviously the needless and futile delay from June 21st was a kick in the balls and caused more unnecessary cancellations, but past July 19th there's still several festivals scheduled to go ahead - there's a couple dozen of them listed on the previous pages. Personally, I've got 5 booked in albeit a couple of them are ones that I wouldn't consider in a normal year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Shambala announced their music line-up for Camp Kin on Friday and it has really ramped up the excitement for me even though I don't know any of the acts on my weekend! The thought of dancing in a field with friends once more is enough. I did just that on Friday for a little socially distanced village gig with a band and a DJ. Was absolutely cathartic to be dancing again! We need this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was massively looking forward to it anyway. 2 of my top 3 favourite bands and I get to return 'home'. If my house sales have not completed by then, it will probably be the last time I stay in my house. If they have, I will be staying at my parents. Going to be funny, sneaking up the stairs in the early hours, drunk as a skunk and trying not to wake anyone up. Just hope City are at home home that weekend as well.

Oh yeah I've always been massively looking forward to, don't get me wrong. But Friday night is the first time I've danced to music in a field since 2019 and that has really intensified my excitement for it as I now remember what I've been missing much more acutely.

Me - we bought tickets a while ago back in March after Glastonbury was cancelled again on the off chance it would go ahead. And the line up now is pretty good considering.

crazyfool1 Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 For these festivals that are happening do people think there might be some special guests that might appear on the lineups just for something to do ? Or will it need to fit with a new release and or tour ? Playing below the station they might usually command on a festival lineup … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can't wait to be back at a proper festival. In all honesty I'd not even consider Latitude in a normal year, but right now I'm looking forward to it as much as I do Glastonbury.
