As far as I know The Strokes COULD legally play in 6 days and it's more down to whether the sick guy feels ready. Hope so. Nothing some ibuprofen and a private jet won't sort out.

If he’s been double vaccinated, he’ll probably just feel like he has a minor cold for a day or so. Unlikely to be too ill to play, especially in 6 days time.

MichaelsBeard Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 This is the official US advice so surely no chance with the 10 days thing? Are they just holding off cancelling at the request of the festival while they sort something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advice though, not a legal requirement, and they'll have a private jet as mentioned above which helps to not be an asshole about spreading it. It's well within the realms of possibility they still play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have initially tested positive a week ago though, and cancelling Boston is just the tail-end of his infection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenG92 Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Selfishly, in the event of cancellation, the very slight possibility of them bumping Gizz to a 90 minute main stage show sounds fucking awesome. They're the 2nd biggest act playing at the time so there's actually a real chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_89 Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 8 minutes ago, Float said: I had planned to skip Strokes on W1 and see Earl & King Gizz, then watch Strokes on W2. I think they’ll still play W2 but I’m very doubtful about W1. My fear now is that they reshuffle things around and I end up missing more than I would have had Strokes played… That's my exact plan too. This will be down to the last day.

soulsville67 Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 No disrespect…but Jamie XX as Primavera sound headliner? A pre recorded dj set…please please Strokes, get on that plane next Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB15 Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Probably the act I’m most excited to see. Yes they’re probably a 00s nostalgia act, but I was 15 when Is This It came out and I haven’t seen them since 2011. I’d be really gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss89 Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 The Strokes was my number 2 reason I initially bought a ticket (after Pavement). But was gutted about missing King Gizzard... Since their ciutat-shows are probably going to be special(full album?) sets. So you win some, you lose some I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big one for nostalgia myself to be honest, I've just never liked the strokes. If it was Pulp or Blur (probably my equivalent) I'd be devastated. Chin up though, they've not cancelled yet! I felt for sure Cave would for a moment there and look how that turned out. The fact it's gone public that the strokes guy has it though does mean it could attract criticism for travelling with covid. And there is a risk of passing it on to the rest of the band and the crew.

And I don’t think they can just move acts to different days as that’ll piss off the day ticket holders. The last thing I would want is to have Beach House moved to the shitty main stages , I am only going there twice, Pavement & Nick Cave and I would like to keep it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fucks up the transitions way too often for it to be fake. But yeah, please, don't cancel the Strokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
