found home in 2009 Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Anybody know the capacity for Playground Festival? Just looking at the Scottish government rules under different levels: https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-protection-levels/pages/protection-level-2/ For level 2 (which East Renfrewshire currently is) it says: Outdoor grouped standing events are advised to operate with a maximum capacity of 250 people. For level 1: Outdoor grouped standing events are advised to operate with a maximum capacity of 500 people. And for Level 0: Outdoor grouped standing events are advised to operate with a maximum capacity of 1,000 people. Tempted to buy Friday tickets, but worried I'd just be wasting my money. Suspect there is normally over 1000 people there. Originally had Sunday tickets for 2019 and lost out on booking fees when I got a refund (plus they were a pain to deal with to get money back, ticket seller saying had to go to festival directly, while the festival were saying it was responsibility of ticket company, took months to resolve). Though not sure if the fact the limits are "advised" rather than required if maybe it could go ahead.

rivalschools.price Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Im off to the Wales v Albania football pilot event today. Not music related but a step in the right direction for events if all goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it means another postponement or cancel? I hope it survives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efcfanwirral Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Got some skin in the game finally for some reopening stuff. Booked the James gig in London for whenever it happens (if it does). I assume they'll still try to be "London's opening night" so we're going to be there whenever it is. Fuck it, i like Feeder, maximo Park and the sherlocks and don't hate James. Why not shed tears of joy at the first live gig that happens when there's no guarantees of the things I've booked otherwise happening over a month later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewevie Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Not a festival but don't know where else to post it, and thought some people in Manc might be interested...I'll certainly go to this... https://aboutmanchester.co.uk/use-hearing-protection-new-exhibition-will-tell-the-early-story-of-factory-records/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if you saw but there was an announcement a while back that they were extending to an extra day and allowing people to arrive the night before it starts, to get people in more gradually. I won't be taking them up on the offer - but it certainly indicated that they were moving ahead with things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley fest is the end of july as well , and they are still full steam ahead , there has been a couple of headliner changes though , and i suspect this will happen to a lot of festivals as dates come on line and drop off as well as covid restrictions / out breaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blisterpack Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Festevol at Invisible Wind Factory in August looks really good, especially that first day. Love Kelly Lee Owens, and Working Men’s Club are really growing on me. Throw in Oranj Son, best band in Liverpool at the moment, and it’s not a bad do at all. Great venue as well.

You’re right, not all anti vaxxers are racist, but strangely most of the racists are anti-vax. No idea what the link is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sort of half joking that some of the people who watch certain YouTube videos will be in an awkward position where they want to go into the stadium to boo taking the knee but will need to go against their principles and have a vaccine and produce a passport to be able to do so. If you are only one of the three things I mentioned then I wasn’t talking about you. Edited June 8, 2021 by rivalschools.price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
