fafy wrote: » It might be that, this relates to tickets bought for a 2020 festival, but now won’t be happening until 2022, and was already postponed once before. Different to other gigs that can be moved maybe 6 months out, this one can only be moved out 1 year, and its the second time it would have happened, so it would be considered unreasonable to postpone again, if they had done that, it would be a 2.5 year time line, between ticket purchased and actual event taking place.

The publication cited a source as saying that Festival Republic has been told to prepare for Electric Picnic to get the green light, although international acts would not be permitted due to current restrictions on touring' If that's true a lot of Irish gigs by international artists set for September/possibly October may be postponed/cancelled At the end of the day all these articles are pure guesswork
