    Finally got an email today from Ticketmaster that Andre Rieu has been postponed (again) until April 2021.
    Initially it was due to take place April 2020,then rescheduled to September 2020 and now pushed to April 2021.
    Unfortunately the pessimistic in me thinks it won't happen in April 2021 either :(

    To thine own self be true

    Wallis Bird postponed from March to September now cancelled. Not looking good for gigs in the Autumn unless crowd numbers can change at the end of the month. https://twitter.com/TurningPirate/status/1293539326240927744?s=19

    Probably not too surprising but looks like there's doubts from some in music industry that festivals will be able to go ahead next summer. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/insurers-say-it-is-unlikely-that-irish-music-festivals-will-go-ahead-in-2021-5szpgqkhl

    I'd say that will the nail in the coffin for a lot of smaller / indy / underperforming festivals.

    12 months is a long time, I think a lot can and will change, let's hope it's positive.

    Though, and it's bad to say, if we still have to cancel things due to COVID19 this time next year, festivals will be the least of our worries / complaints :eek:

    Yeah exactly, lot of time to go between now and then. Main bit of article was that basically crowd capacity may not be increased enough and then will need more space for crowds and camping say due to social distancing. Plus insurers likely won't cover cancellations due to Covid. Both big hurdles to get past but not impossible.

    Guess in the meantime sporting events will be the thing to watch to see what capacity is allowed here in the meantime.

    Expecting the Sun Kil Moon date next year to be cancelled after the recent allegations, some EU dates have already gone.

    I presume Trevor Noah in the 3arena on the 10th will be cancelled, now that the upper limit for indoor gatherings has been dropped from 50 to 6? Has anyone heard anything from Ticketmaster?

    It hasn't been officially rescheduled/cancelled, but you're right, only a matter of time before they make an announcement.
    I'm following Trevor Noah on social media and he usually updates as well.

    I think it's still 50 for gigs but yeah either way it's a huge gap between that and 13,000 odd capacity there! I can't see any gigs happening there this year. I've Bon Iver in January there and can't see it happening either as things stand. Not sure why gigs on over next few weeks haven't been cancelled yet tbh. Dunno is it insurance thing to wait til government mandates it but indoor limit extended to 13th September I think. Maybe they're waiting to reschedule but with all uncertainty, nearly better to refund tbh.

    Its been pushed back a year to September 2021.
    Noah is far too busy making digs at Trump to tour anyway.

    I just got an email from axs uk (I'm subscribed to their mailing list) and it mentions the London shows rescheduled for September 2021.
    I reckon Dublin and Glasgow to follow. . .

    Detailed study of going to a concert indoors - be interesting to see the results, which are expected in October.



    Those attending were "volunteers in an elaborate study by a team at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg called Restart 19. Each attendee, outfitted with a digital location tracker and hand disinfectant laced with fluorescent dye, was carefully positioned in seats as part of an experiment to track the risks of coronavirus infection posed by large, indoor events."

    Whats the lay of the land now for indoor gigs. Was going to re-buy tickets I got refunded for Ricky Gervais, end of Janruary is the new date. Is it fair to say that is highly unlikely to go ahead at all?

    Nobody knows really

    Only hope a treatment/vaccine arrives soon and maybe large gatherings/gigs could make a return for mid 2021

    I have 2 gigs in March/April 2021 so hoping they will be back by then

    We need to live with this virus one way or the other, no point hiding in fear

    I think it's 50 maximum if gigs can go ahead but still uncertainty. Is Gervais in 3Arena? Have Bon Iver there in January and can't see it going ahead at this stage.

    Say it could be 2022 at the earliest before thousands are able to go to gigs tbh

    NCH has got funding for infrastructure to set up live-streaming. Might be an indication that it will be awhile yet before gigs come back there.

    Guess it's an investment though anyway and could be used to stream gigs for people who can't make it within Ireland and abroad for reduced ticket price to raise more revenue.

    Damnit.. I booked London which has been pushed from a Friday to a Monday! :(

    Still have Matilda booked for that weekend in January but also not going ahead I’d say.

    yeah I guess you're right, there isnt much chance of Gervais going ahead in January so theres no point re-buying the tickets I got refunded from the first cancelled show.

    Even if indoor venues were allowed 50% capacity it still probably wouldnt be worth while for international touring artists & promoters. Its just a mess really but what cant they do until a vaccine arrives, its all on that.

    The French seem to be going it alone,will be interesting to see what happens.

    Indoor concerts may now go ahead without social distancing providing there are fewer than 5,000 people in attendance, the French prime minister said today.

    Two days after announcing that large events (ie those with over 5,000 attendees) would continue to be banned until November, Jean Castex announced that masks are now mandatory in all indoor entertainment venues, such as theatres and cinemas – but that in most of France, the requirement for social distancing has been removed.

    The only exception is in départements – so-called ‘red zones’ – where new cases of Covid-19 are rapidly increasing, such as Paris, Lyon, Bouches-du-Rhône in Marseille and Gironde in Bordeux.

    “I say to the French people, go to the cinema, go to the theatre – you don’t risk anything”, said Castex, reports Le Monde.

    We were due to go to Peppa Pig (i know, i know) last April in the Olympia. It obviously didn't go ahead. It has been rescheduled to next January. Do i have to do anything now or do original tickets just carry over?
