ATG is on 17th August, which is not a good sign for the season as a whole really.

I don’t feel too hopeful about any US bands making it over this year but I hope they do as really looking forward to finally seeing Bambara.

Think they were one of the last ones that hadn’t completely rearranged their lineup to be entirely UK-centric, the majority of their headliners are from the US, Scandinavia or Japan. Things like EOTR and All Points East are probably safer bets.

Good point.

I don’t know any of these bands but it seems like a good idea to have a streaming option for people who aren’t comfortable going to in-person shows yet

already given out my ten points and I’m not even halfway through. I am going to have to kill some darlings here.

Something oddly heartwarming about "The capacity will be significantly reduced - down from 111,000 to just 10,000 - but organisers say “moshing will be allowed.”

This afternoon’s inevitable announcement is going to kill off a bunch of festivals entirely, isn’t it.

I thought the postponements might be coming to an end, but I just got an email saying that the Holy Fawn tour has been postponed from Oct 2021 to Sept 2022. That was the only gig I had left still in the diary for this year :frowning_face:

I was just thinking that a side-effect of all this postponement is that artists who would have toured behind a particular album, but have had to postpone that by up to two years, might very well have released another album by the time they get to tour. Which means fewer songs from that earlier album, different production (for larger artists) etc. Quite a bummer if you love a particular album and would normally have seen the artist perform a setlist heavy with those tracks.

I’m personally quite disappointed to have missed:

Holy Fawn touring Death Spells
Springsteen touring Letter to You
Phoebe Bridgers touring Punisher
Taylor Swift touring Lover (well, by ‘touring’ I mean one show in Hyde Park)

Same on holy fawn. Hope they’ll still do a death spells heavy set even if they have a new one out by then

Puscifer doing Hellfest next year seems to indicate that Tool have already gone back into hibernation too.
