We were supposed to be going to Ludovico Einaudi gig on 13 March 2020. That got rescheduled to 25 November 2020 so obviously not going ahead. I'd prefer to get a refund as this stage rather than another new date.

Tbh I went to the festival twice and loved the area since you could walk back into Mitchelstown for beer/food etc and walk back plus because of the size it was easy to get around. Hopefully they do come back in 2022

Even the farmer the got another piece off land off.[/quote Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. No doubt other farmers considering the disruption & extra admin & workload will bear note.

The Who (5th March 21) and Genesis (15th April 21) will prob be moved too Autumn 2021 Think the gig industry will receive a massive well needed boost in finances when they can return. People will flock to them

Summer gigs are very ambitious so I won't be buying anything until the day of but on the bright side its a sign of whats to come. When this is over we will be inundated with gigs. I try to go to one a month because often bands don't come back to Ireland for years and sometimes not at all. I've got a feeling we will be seeing a lot more bands come here that would usually not.

They don’t have to refund the cost of tickets. They can reschedule them. “I think people who are buying a ticket should be aware of that that they’re not guaranteed a refund. They might find it being rescheduled.”
