    True but that was after doing nothing before taking this measure while at least we had already implemented measures. Although id say more measures are coming within a few mins

    Btw im just clutching at straws that it goes ahead ha

    I'll be gutted if it doesn't...not least because I bought Sepultura and The Hu albums in anticipation! 🀣

    was really looking forward to this, was also going to Maiden and Rammstein up north. I'd say they will all be cancelled.

    I'd imagine small gigs will be introduced first later in the summer with large gatherings maybe not till next year.

    I'm not giving up yet ha, although overdrive have said they are expecting an announcement within the coming days or sooner. Could be the generic festival announcement where they are monitoring the situation etc or could be the cancellation­.

    FnM rescheduled May's Aus/NZ tour to next feb, only a matter of days before they pull the plug on the euro tour and Sunstroke.

    Glad it's not going ahead, rather get all this **** with the virus sorted, then we can enjoy ourselves at a festival, just wouldn't seem right having this in 2 months time

    Well essentially their 15th addition is postponed, Hellfest not taking place in 2020 is without doubt a cancellation.

    Every festival/event in June anyway are all unofficially not going ahead most are just waiting on the restriction to be applied by their various governments so they can confirm the obvious.

    By the end of this month/May the hammer will then likely be falling on July's events.

    Did you read the Hellfest statement? They name an insurance company that isnt being cooperative on a figure of 175k and say to them publicly f-ck you :D

    Yep. It's inevitably going to be one or the other.

    Could be a case of this never happening

    I imagine is not as easy as just saying 'same lineup, similar dates , same venue just put it back a year '

    It rained in the evening but what a lineup :eek:

    It was class. Soundgarden cancelled, but in the end nobody really minded.

    Really bad form to cancel without any notification or heads-up.

    I hope it did sell well though and they can try again for next year. Was listening to some of the bands earlier and just felt sad for June 2020 - it was too good to be true.

    I'd find it hard to find fault with anyone whose product relies on gatherings right now, I'm not sure what heads up should have been delivered the promoter and TM sleep in the same bed in this instance anyway.

    Yeah absolutely disgraceful that they stop ticket sales in advance of an impending announcement that the event can't actually function without people, mad stuff altogether :rolleyes:

    I do think they should have made an official announcement though to be fair. The two could have happened simultaneously without any issue.

    There were so many good gigs line up for then. I had spent most of last December getting accommodation and travel sorted for it. Bah humbug

    Yes
    Sunstroke
    Rammstein
    Maiden
    GNR

    Now all gone I'm sure

    Whats the need for urgency?

    I'm interested in the massive impact holding off on telling you something I gather you already knew was more than possible compels you to take issue with.

    Is there any implications for severing agreements prior to the government confirming they are upholding restrictions extending into the period for instance?

    Probably not answering your question but I'm finding they are all trying to just keep my money, from Airlines to Events Organisers to Sky TV. We're all in it together all of a sudden :)

    So the lack of information makes me presume these guys too are trying to keep my money.(probably incorrectly presumed by me I hold my hands up).

    Just grumpy I suppose.
