Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

It’s not that I think they wouldn’t come back, it’s more that I think that gigs like Slane are done for due to Covid obsession and the associated safetyism that has emerged from it. Covidism if you like. I could be very wrong however.
Personally I think (And hope) you are wrong. I mean, yeah, 2021 is a gonner too but, all going well, the vast majority of concert goers around the developed world will be vaccinated by September/October and almost all by end of year.
I mean I have no facts to back it up (I used to work in Trump administration
. Joking). I have no numbers to back it up but think of the typical festival demographic: 18-35/40 (I will be 50 at next Glasto but hey). For festivals, reasonably middle class as tickets and actually everything involved going to a festival can be expensive. All fairly liberal, educated to some point and don't get their news from Facenook/Youtube.
Now I know that sounds INCREDIBLY arrogant/elitist but what I mean is, is that you were never likely to see your anti-masker/it's-all-a-liberal-media-plot-with-Bill-Gates-to-inject-us-with-robots/the-kung-flu-was-made-to-mid-control-us-to-vote-liberal-and-masks-are-invading-my-rights at EP or ATN or Glastonbury or Download.
What I mean is is that everyone who goes to concerts/festivals are probably the most likely to get vaccinated. Personally, I'll take every jab in one go if it meant I could get back to normal.
Plus, by the start of 2021 concert/festival season, people will be GAGGING for ANYTHING. I do think for larger ones -any international ones - they MAY require a test a few days before for people travelling from abroad. And I have no problem with that.
tldr: I think people will be SCREAMING for concerts by next year. May be a bit more precautions beforehand but HOPEFULLY we will be 90% there.0 -

I hope I'm wrong too. I've bought a ticket for Metallica in Italy next year so I do have some hope. I think you've made some broad generalisations in there too. For example, I am vaccinated and always would have gone for the jab but I'm also almost entirely anti-covid restrictions because I think they've been a blight on society when guidance, not orders, should have been given instead. If, for example, I turn up at that gig next year to be met with 50,000 people wearing masks in an outdoor setting, that will be a huge disappointment for me at least. Some seem ok with the thought of that vista, I am not.0
