    None of these big gigs or festivals are going ahead without any insurance and theres no insurance company in the world who'll offer an insurance plan at the moment.

    I don't know how they're able to sell at all tbh with that issue. Understand it's always subject to license but seems very unlikely they will be able to go ahead when scheduled.

    Fairly sure All Together Now didn't have a license last year and still went ahead.

    If you're only looking to see one particular artist at Longitude, do you have to buy a full weekend ticket as they don't release the schedule yet? IF it even goes ahead.

    Pretty much, only day breakdowns so far are for the headliners,

    Although if there's one particular artist you're interested in maybe check out their websites tour date section and you may get lucky.

    Usually have day breakdowns in the 2nd announcement or maybe this thursday before tickets go on sale.

    There's some amount of optimism by promoters for these summer shows going ahead - or is just a case of it being easier to reschedule then cancel out weight and lose a lot of cash?

    I really cannot see the likes of Longitude going ahead - sure none of the attendees would even be vaccinated at that point!

    Unless they make everyone wear masks!?

    Say it's basically getting cash in because they're hoping gigs will come back in summer 2022 either way.

    Whatever about masks, don't think social distancing would be logistically possible with usual numbers on same site.

    I think attendance at GAA games next year will be the bellweather but more chance of those games going ahead with reduced capacity say than gigs being sold at specific capacity.

    Could possible move towards etickets linked to clarification you have taken a vaccine.

    A vaccine passport is not something I would rule out; nor do I not see it as being unreasonable.

    I am cautiously optimistic, I'm about 10 percent happening, 90 percent not expecting anything happen. At the end of the day the money is what will be looked at, and that industry needs a stimulus. And I'm not talking about the artists or promoters, but the crew members, riggers, etc.

    Could we see a regional return for gigs mid/late 2021 ?

    In regional i mean UK artists can play gigs all over the UK and Ireland only (vice versa for Irish artists). Plenty of options for European bands to tour mainland Europe

    Taking Elton Johns tours for example who has scheduled dates for UK and Ireland throughout November/December 2021

    I'd normally get mine tickets, but didn't due to the unknown, they still have tickets from Xmas 2019 that have been rescheduled time and time again... So yes I'd say it had a huge impact

    I've got a ticket for The Who in 3 Arena on 5th March which is hardly going to go ahead

    but it still says on ticketmaster that it's scheduled i.e. it hasn't been cancelled/postponed

    Have a ticket for it myself and was so looking forward to it. Bloody covid

    They are doing a slightly bizarre interview live stream with video cuts at the moment.

    November 21st seems almost realistic.

    Apparently government put forward idea to have concerts across Europe to celebrate the end of covid. Seems optimistic! Think it wouldn't be a bad idea once we can but dunno is this summer a bit on the early side..

    Good idea , Just have to wait and see, id love if we have concerts return in the 3Arena from August/September.

    Elton John in December would be special. He is touring Europe from September with a UK and Ireland leg from October- December. Again like any other tour its subject to a lot of stuff including health/travel and other restrictions.

    Regional tours (ie British Isles with us included) might kick off things

    Since boris is currently in a standoff with the EU regarding visas for touring musicians, that's more of a pipe dream than large outdoor gigs at the moment......

    Got a pre access code for Alan Carr in the Olympia from MCD today, pity gig isn't on until 9th September 2022 :eek:, 20 months away!
    They should do the concerts on this year first.

    Nothing unusual in that . For some reason comedy gigs are announced massively in advance

    Sure Elton John has announced dates for Australia/New Zealand for bloody 2023

    I've always wondered when Nightwish would come back. They'd either lose popularity and play Vicar Street or get bigger and play the 3Arena. I've no idea how popular they are in Ireland but if the goes ahead we will see. It will be an incredible show.
