Yeah I keep waiting on this one. I've got Glasgow tickets for 22nd June, which in theory is after places are allowed to open (in England at least). However, as most of the other dates are before this it makes it unlikely their UK tour will go ahead at all. Also waiting for an announcement regarding the Hella Mega Tour.

Memory Man Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Haim will clearly be going to june 2022 im guessing theyre just getting final details together. Guessing that tour is in place to make coming over for glasto worthwhile basically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they'll be finalising the American dates so they can put all the dates out at once worldwide like they did with the original announcement. I had New York booked as a very extravagant trip but got that refunded just in case they ended up going ahead this year. Whether I try to go at all will be dependent on glastonbury tickets (so likely I'll be looking on twickets!) Though the absolute ultimate would be if it didn't clash with Glastonbury anymore...

Suprefan Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Just got emailed to get free tickets to a charity gig at a stadium this weekend. Proof of full vaccination required or no dice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Music Girl Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 What's left for July now? Finally had my June 2nd Bikini Kill gig cancelled, no idea why it hung on so long. Rescheduled for 2022. No big surprise though as pre 21st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much, Kendal Calling at the end of the month will probably be the next big one to go. The lack of insurance is critical now, even being discussed in the Lord's with no movement from either. Link I've now reassessed my calendar for the early season and have focused on sporting/agricultural events that have more probability of going ahead with either reduced crowds or behind closed doors. Still saying by August we should be in a better position for mass gatherings, if there are any left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebeedoobee Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 With Beatherder cancelling that leaves me with the last of the 8 festivals I had booked in this year, Mucky Weekender in September. We can only wait and hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I was thinking of booking got sold out before I could make a decision (and some of them have gone now), so it's just New Order at Heaton Park in September for me that I'm hanging on to.

Their latest social post was about the "Zen Zone". I think they're currently running a competition to get to play there too with a bunch of smaller bands involved.

TheFullShaboo Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 5 minutes ago, steviewevie said: They still pretending that's happening?! They are the only ones though who've acknowledged that the festival will be going ahead under a number of restrictions, with a full section on their website with how they're going to overcome everything from the rule of 30 to social distancing. Every other festival has explicitly stated that unless socially distancing was dropped they wouldn't be going ahead - BigFoot hasn't Im fully aware that this may be some marketing ploy to completely sell out before cancelling, but still, the fact that they've addressed the issues they will face under the roadmap have provided me with some hope, however false it may be.

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Has anyone else held back from buying any more festival tickets because of the current uncertainty? As much as I'd like to support these organisations through this difficult time, if 2020 is anything to go by, I had thousands of pounds tied up in festival and gig refunds, which certainly took a lot longer for them to refund than it did for me to pay for. I appreciate that this may be more down to the ticketing agent than the festival itself but it has definitely put me off making the leap. The way I see it now is, if there's definite clarity on festivals going ahead after June 21 and there are tickets available, I'll go for it. If everything's sold out by then, that's on me.

Tartan_Glasto Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 With more and more festivals having to cancel due to insurance cover reasons, is it possible the likes of Reading & Leeds could still have to do the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 I've been one of the most optimistic people for late Summer festivals but given the government is clearly not going to put in place insurance (they probably think the grants they've given is enough...), I now think there won't be any large (capacity >10,000) festivals now in 2021. Gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
