theres a strong lineup of efest members going .... not sure that will help persuade Mrs B though 🙂

Would be surprised in Flogging Molly aren't playing - their Tour finishes just before in London - in fact I would have thought most of the 2020 lineup will be there.

Its a lovely family festival if tht helps with mini @blutarsky!! Lots of things for families!!!

Cant believe there are still no rumours!

Only reason I can think of for nothing coming out yet is they're going to do an announcement at the start of April. Seem to recall that was their original plan for announcing their original plan for whether it was going ahead or not, so might have agreement that they'd be doing lineup announcements at the same time.

I'm hoping for Gary Numan to be announced after their twitter likes recently

[gooner1990]

Anyone know when the line up is due? 🙂 

[gooner1990]

I asked them on Twitter...

Becoming a little frustrating now. Might cancel last years ticket and go to victorius, decent line up, decent festival, less the camping situation!

[oddcouple]

So with Boomtown now cancelled due to a lack of government support regarding insurance, are we looking at the same here? No announcement of any form, all a bit unknown at the minute....

I reckon cancellation is in the post....

Starting to look that way isn't it? I'd been sitting on the fence but rage bought tickets after Bearded Theory was cancelled a couple of weeks ago.

Very odd, some festival organisers seem absolutely convinced they will be able to go ahead (such as Bigfoot Festival and Camper Calling which we also have booked) but then other bigger, more established ones are still postponing until next year

Personally think we will be very lucky if anything goes ahead

[Pinhead]

Possibly only those with smaller budgets (less to lose) and fewer people might get away with it. Dunno.

Yep, starting to fear the same!

They've just said the line up will be announced may 7th which is promising.

Just got that email! Great result! Literally couldn't give a toss who they announce as long as we get there!

Ditto.  Been trying to piece it all together and work out how they're in a position to take enough risk out of the it to go ahead without the insurance being a deciding factor.  Really intriguing, especially giving the email today in the light of the cancellation announcements.

Or they're just taking a massive gamble!

good to see the Local Authorities fully on  side here.

Good to hear they have a lineup date coming although it feels like May 7th may be significant. It's a good over two weeks away to say about a lineup. I wonder if that date is kinda pencilled in when they see it possibly as a announcement for 2021/announcement for 2022?

I expect most of the line up will be almost exclusively UK based artists. Looking at other festivals very few of bands (at the higher end of the line ups) appear from overseas. Makes sense I suppose, bands from other countries could end up on the 'red' list overnight and leave a last minute gap in the bill, and from the bands perspective they could still be looking at a 10 day quarantine when they get to the UK and maybe the same when they leave.
