MichaelsBeard Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Mine was unexpected... day of the Euros final Lightning Seeds announced a gig w/ Baddiel and Skinner in London so we went along to that... unbelievable day was that just fell that bit short. Still reeling 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but what I mean they could be a few rows in front and it would ping that you were near but the chances that they gave you COVID would be next to nil.

Just had a second ping about the venue itself, so I'm guessing there must have been a few positive cases. Taken another test to be on the safe side and still negative, so at least I don't really have to worry about having given it to my in laws!

Very dependant on ventilation… looking at some of the diagrams of how it spreads in rooms … I wouldn’t be sure either way tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan1984 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I think mine is going to be the Liam day at Reading. Still not sure how comfortable I’d feel in a full-capacity smaller venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigsmith1985 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I was at the Royal Blood gig at The O2 Academy in Bristol last Wednesday. The gig was fantastic and I’d missed live music so much. Unfortunately on Saturday I came down with Covid symptoms and ended up testing positive. I found out tonight about a friend of a friend who was also there who also came down with symptoms and tested positive over the weekend. My brother who was stood quite a bit away from me got a ping on the app tonight as a close contact of someone as well and the date puts it at the gig. I didn’t have the app at the time so it’s not from me. I’m double jabbed but that isn’t completely effective against transmission. Luckily so far the effects haven’t been too bad so that should be the vaccine doing it’s thing. These events are what I’ve craved and missed so much but there is still a risk. I hope things settle as numbers continue to drop and this doesn’t become a common occurrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did take a test yesterday just to see if I picked anything up and was negative. That said I watched the gig from the back and wasn't in close proximity to too many people. On a musical note Pet Needs were ace. Williams Green next year Emily please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from anything else they just looked like they were having an absolute blast, which is always a big plus for me with live music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Added The Beths to my upcoming gigs because of @Quark I considered Red Rum Club as well and I am still pondering but I think I have quite a lot of gigs in November and wondering how I'll cope with that many late nights and early mornings.

EssexIndie Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Mine was Latitude last weekend having gone the best part of 18 months without anything. Absolutely amazing to be back at a festival, and for that slice of normality! Got a few in August- Frank Turner in Colchester, The Rifles in Southend and then Victorious Fest at the end of the month. Just feels so good to be able to see artists playing around the country again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sisco Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 Just back from Frank Turner and the sleeping souls and my god it was actually beautiful. People happy, dancing, singing and not worried about that C word…. Oh and I got a picture with Beans on Toast! What a night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazola Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Not sure if this counts as a gig, but going to see Craig Charles today, it's a boat party on the Thames. He's become a Friday afternoon tradition for me at Glastonbury so really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dales Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 First gig back was Frank Turner at Dreamland-Margate. Outdoor gig and so a nice reintroduction to live music. A very pleasent evening and with a fine support cast. Like everyone else it felt so good to back to listening to music they way it was meant to be.

ivan Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 I was at Underneath The Stars Festival near Barnsley yesterday. I was worried line up would be a bit folky for me , but i loved all the acts. "This sounds like Massive Attack " was mentioned a few times. Lovely festival , everyone seems to plonk camping chairs down for the day , but it was not an issue for me , i just stood or sat on the grass. £4 for a pint of Citra ( no paying for glasses ) and there was a converted horse trailer selling Bandido's IPA at £4.50 which was moreish. Other than for a late night coffee there was no q's for the bar or the loo's , and the food stalls looked amazing. Mr Plant cancelled on the Sat for some reason , but they managed to get The Staves at 24 hr notice - which was not bad going. Lanterns on the Lake also cancelled which proper pissed me off as i was so looking forward to seeing em on a outdoor stage. If anyone from the band or their management reads this then an explanation would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
