Amazing😍 love Bill & comedy tent is so rammed every time he headlines. I'm quite happy for it to be a test event if that's what's needed to get the entertainment industry back on it's feet - I'll show my vaccination certs, do a lateral flow or pcr, whatever, just get me in a field with live entertainment again ❤ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't help others like kendal and y not as results will be too late, but will help him put that on and reading maybe! Just like ALW - appease those who shout the loudest Hope im wrong obviously!

What I wouldn't give to be there watching bands I've never heard of, in a genre I'm not into, in the rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
