oddcouple Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 If I’m being honest, I’m less sure now than I was a month ago. This government could still destroy summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaminglippy Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Trying to not get too excited to be honest just in case... I'm at a 4k capacity festival in 2 weeks and even that feels a bit touch and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner1990 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I've got Truck Festival booked a month prior to BD's and that is at present still going ahead.... (22nd-25th July) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Interesting Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Wilderness were delaying announcing as they wanted to be 'sure' of going ahead before they did. They have announced their lineup today. It gives me hope BD will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourkid1984 Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 I have a feeling the government will do some sort of compromise for the 21st. I can imagine that they'll go with something like 1 metre + as well as mask wearing in enclosed spaces but more freedoms when outside. Considering festivals largely happen outside I think they will all be fine to go ahead as long as they put safety measures in place such as hand sanitisers and temperature checks. Even if nothing changes on the 21st the talk is the maximum delay would be a month which would still mean Beautiful Days will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blutarsky Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 They'll have a month from unlock to gates opening - fingers crossed. How much of a build is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner1990 Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 What do we reckon then? I'm quietly confident but given Truck Festival that I had tickets for (last week in july and after restrictions are due to end) went last week its getting quite close. I think one more delay to anything and it will be a postponement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was @crazyfool1 that said somewhere else that we're not likely to get any news until 12th July, which is when the govt are due to confirm restrictions lifting on 19th (or not). I'd agree with that. I don't think the build is more than 2-3 weeks so that would still leave plenty of time to crack on with it. Look forward to a mini efest meet if it does go ahead!

Yeh I think @crazyfool1 is probably on the money with that....then the question is, if restrictions aren't completly lifted which ones could still be in place for the event to still go ahead?

I would take one too and I suspect most people will have been double jabbed by that point too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner1990 Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Hmmm. I just logged into my Beautiful Days ticket order on See Tickets and it has this note on there: Refunds This show has been postponed and your ticket(s) will be valid for the re-arranged date.

Strange - if you go to purchase then it's still showing 2021 dates and while the bulk of tickets are sold out it'll still allow you to buy Car Park tickets which I wouldn't expect if See had word it was cancelled.

I have questioned it with them via Twitter (As has someone else) Perhaps it is on all ticket purchases and has been left on by accident from last year.

Its still letting you buy car parking tickets for the current date which bodes well. Was thinking in terms of the headliners at least Beautiful Days are in a better position than most given they are one of them, and from what I can gather James and Frank Turner are their mates so can't imagine they would be getting a non-refundable deposit of it can't go ahead. Same could potentially be true of the bars being a local brewery. Stuff like the fencing and toilets etc probably not so much If the above is the case maybe they can afford to wait a little longer before making their final decision?
