efcfanwirral Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 (edited) Wonder if the rescheduled gigs will be some outdoor summer ones? E.g. move Manchester to Castlefield Bowl and the like. No idea where Liverpool would go but you get the idea. With summer festivals they'll be mad to try an indoor tour around them in case it forces them to cancel those appearances. Maybe there'll be a window in September before the winter weather kicks in to do indoor ones? Edited January 5 by efcfanwirral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had tickets for various things in 20 and 21 that were cancelled, postponed or I found myself unable to go. The Wolf Alice cancellation means my next gig is Royal Blood at the O2 in late March, which will be over TWO YEARS since my last one. Christ. I got bought tickets for my 32nd birthday back in October 2019 to see Nick Cave at the O2 in July 2020. That gig got postponed by a year to July 2021, from memory. Then it got cancelled. Using the ticket money I replaced the tickets with tickets to see Caribou in Bristol. This gig got postponed to January 2022. Now I expect it to get postponed or cancelled again. I could feasibly be looking at attending sometime around my 35th birthday. 3 YEARS down the line! We've also had Idles, Michael Kiwanuka, Rag 'n' Bone Man and a few others I can't even remember get cancelled or postponed on us in that time. The only live music I've seen in 2 years has been at Beautiful Days or at weddings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bands may do that of their own back, but i think the Govt has given a fairly clear expectation that restrictions are on the backburner going forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishman Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Tour postponed .... Band statement: "We are absolutely gutted to announce that we have decided to postpone our upcoming tour this January. As the Covid pandemic seems to be getting worse and with the overwhelming number of daily cases it feels like a particularly volatile time to go ahead with such a large tour. People’s safety and access to our concerts is of the utmost importance to us and we feel that is something we can’t ensure at these large indoor shows. We are already working to get rescheduled dates confirmed ASAP and will be making an announcement in the following weeks, all tickets will remain valid for rescheduled shows. We are sorry to do this but we feel like this is the responsible decision for the current climate of the pandemic." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoringMidlander Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 19 minutes ago, kingcrawler said: New dates here Of course the weekend gigs in Liverpool and Glasgow have been moved to weekdays. Looks like two shows I'll have to cancel. Not a great start to the year for gig-going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I just got a couple on ticketmaster for the first night in Glasgow so it's presumably just a few returns that are left. Looking forward to it, the only time I've seen Wolf Alice was the secret William's Green set in 2015. I saw Angel Olsen at the Barrowlands on valentines day in 2020 and that ended up being my last gig for 18 months, let's hope things go a bit better this time!

efcfanwirral Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 That's brilliant - not going to complain at all about getting a gig in the next few weeks. Shame my Liverpool one moved from Saturday to Tuesday but I'll take anything at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolee Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Crazy to think some tours have been rescheduled to next month even though they’re essentially allowed to go ahead now. Will it actually be any better or easier for a band to tour in Feb without catching it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
