Live at Worthy Farm

I just don’t get this.

After more than a year of sitting inside, does this guy really think people are going to stay in and watch a live stream instead of going to a pub/club/gig?!

Surely if anybody misses out on potential revenue, it’s Glasto themselves? 

Yeah it's confusing. It must be more of a symbolic thing, rather than actually worrying about filling their venues up. If the music venues trust were planning a live stream event that weekend then it would have been shortsighted but obviously that's not the case.

The target audience is people like us who are so devoted to the farm that they would be spending that weekend camping in the garden, drinking cider and shitting in a bucket out of tribute regardless.

 

edit: hey i didn't even clock that this was in May. I thought it was Glasto weekend. Don't mind me. No bucketshitting.

There's still going to be restrictions that weekend. You have to 'book' a 2 hour slot and pubs are still closing at 10:30pm.

Where have you seen this?  All the blurb on gov.uk says 'no curfew' for indoor hospitality....and nothing I can see ref booking a slot.

a. Indoor hospitality, with no requirement for a substantial meal to be served alongside alcoholic drinks, and no curfew. The requirement to order, eat and drink while seated (‘table service’) will remain

🤔

Isn't it likely pubs in the UK will be on some kinda curfew (i.e. 10pm) in late May? Plus also probably restrictions on how many folk you can have around your gaff? So I don't think it's unreasonable to think that people will still be enjoying live shows from the comfort of their couches, even if they have been on the beer garden lash all afternoon.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yup- afternoon down the beer garden then repair home with a carry out and kebab to luxuriate in, er, Idles wanging on and on about their village.

Don't think that's especially likely in England. The Government here only put a 10pm curfew in place briefly last Autumn when they were desperately trying to avoid a total lockdown, and hasn't seemed keen on the idea at any other time. Come May, they'll be keen to show that everything is as normal as possible and to take the credit for it.

Can't speak for the rest of the country.

Enjoy your hellhole Sasanachs!

I agree with the people on here who say that they want to be nowhere near a pub on that first weekend. At the same time, I understand the Music Venue Trust's concerns. But I don't feel like being the indoor venue guinea pig. 

[a6l6e6x]

I expect any pubs opening first weekend will need to be booked well in advance. I've managed to line up a few beer gardens in the upcoming weeks but all in very high demand

When indoors does return I'll absolutely be doing my best to have something lined up

Also with no fence etc up, there's going to need to be some security in place to stop people wandering about the site 

I think Stu malinas is in charge of security

See my post above....no curfew for indoor hospitality from 17th May.

Any venues for live music will only be a partial capacity. Pub are only at partial capacity. 
 

As it is a pre record they should have allowed a few days to watch the stream e.g. 5 days to start 48 hours to watch once started

The way i see it is they have created a option for people to access live music and make a personal choice of how to spend an evening!!! 
Its good to hear by this date people will be able to make choices of how to spend their evenings something we havent had for a long time!! 
lets have some positivity folks about looking forward!!!

I’ve missed that - where does it say it’s a pre-record?

Yeah didn't think it would be live, there might be some sections going out live but most of it will be recorded over the weeks before it.

I'm going to take the occasional day off in the week and go to a beer garden then for a late lunch and some pints, as I expect there'll be no need to book! Perks of freelancing!

I'm looking forward to eventually being able to have a spontaneous pint in evenings and weekends though

I've got it in my head as basically being along the lines of the thing Camp Bestival did last year, just with bigger name acts.

I'll probably chuck £20 at this, just wish Coldplay weren't part of it. I also hope you don't have to be on Facebook or anything like that to view.
