Who could possibly be that sad?! Ha! I thought the same myself on quite a few occasions.

Homer Posted July 29 Report Share Posted July 29 On 7/26/2021 at 9:52 AM, Homer said: Not sure where else to put this, but for any of the Londoners on here, got sent links for cheap tickets to all the gigs at Crystal Palace bowl in August/September last night. Supergrass and Sleaford dates are now £20; Dizzee Rascal is £25. If anyone wants a link, please DM and I'll fire it across. Ta! Bump in case anyone who missed this and would like a link. I went crackers and picked up a ticket to Fat Whites, Baxter Dury and Jane Weaver for £20 on top of Supergrass and Dizzee yesterday. (Might even stick around for Sleaford Mods.)

And Lost Village have just released their banquet menus. Whilst I have no interest in banquets while I'm at a festival, it's good to hear them making noises. I might actually get to go to a festival this year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair, I know Stu Malinas has been legitimately busy. I understand he was in charge of security at Wembley for the final of the Euros. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efcfanwirral Posted July 29 Report Share Posted July 29 (edited) Search on twitter "latitude covid" I don't think festivals are out the woods just yet 😔. If they want to stop spread I don't even think the answer is to only let double vaccinated people in...

Suprefan Posted July 29 Report Share Posted July 29 First big fest in the u.s. with covid protocols just starting today. Lollapalooza in Chicago requires proof of vaxx or a neg test within 72 hours of entry. Lets see how 120,000 per day deal with delta. I predict our summer is not going to end well after this.

You'll see exactly what you'd predict even before the festival happened - a few anecdotal accounts, some of which will likely be from bullshitters who didn't even go to the festival.

Hoping these whole groups getting it are isolated incidents or exaggerations Given that the majority of festival goers will have only had 1 (or no) jab this isn't surprising in the slightest. Doesn't mean festivals should be stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping these whole groups getting it are isolated incidents or exaggerations There are so many bots and shit stirrers on Twitter, separating fact from fiction is nigh-on impossible.

I booked my flights at the beginning of the year for Chicago because my friend is running the marathon on October 10th, (she's running Ian just going for the food)....I really thought we'd be back to normal by then but it's not looking good at the moment.

Yeah this is my thinking, and also most of the posts on there are very much hearsay as well which never help. The EDP round here did an article about people saying they were positive now but gave one single anonymous source. The media will pounce on anyone who says they were positive afterwards and ignore those who weren't, for example my family who went have tested most days since and have all been fine so far and by the sounds of it most other attendees are too so we can hope it stays that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
