Shame, they are better in a tent like on the Sunday of 2018 on Market Stage. And idk 4th down?

@Tonybyates Catch the Truck twitter person in a good mood and if we all ask annoying questions we'll get a rough clashfinder by the end of it haha

Thanks for the retweet Truck but I was hoping you’d give us a date. Ah well, if they’re retweeting that it must be imminent.

[TheWaters]

No Hot Ashes are teasing an announcement at 10AM tomorrow. Possibly truck

[alfiemartin]

Anyone else worried truck will be cancelled?

I'm also under the hope that by end of July things will be a lot clearer! We'll have to wait and see, we're in a lot less of a manic than the Glasto threads.

Yeah the Glasto thread is a depressing place, hate to say it but I reckon it’ll go  (Glasto not this)

2000 trees have stated theyre 100% going ahead which gives me hopes with it being a similar size fest to truck, around the same time. Smaller festivals probably have less to worry about especially with the majority of the acts not having come from abroad

if the government bans events over 1000 in capacity and that ban is extended until July then they are both off

I think it's looking likely at the moment.

I mean I have no clue, but the point I was making was that there’s no way 2000 trees is “100% going ahead” because the government/city council can force them to cancel.

The ban could be from next weekend.

What are people’s thoughts on this still going ahead? Seeing as Glasto has been postponed I’m tempted to get a ticket

I’d be surprised if anything because R&L or Victorious went ahead.  I’d actually be surprised if either of them did too 

[Jack.194]

Yea I’m not holding out much hope either, I’ve got a feeling the full 2020 festival season is written off!

Before!!! Not because 

[TheWaters]

Yeah I honestly don’t see anything before September going ahead. Awful stuff, what a year 2020 promised to be and now look at it

[FestivalJamie]

I would say 95% chance cancelled, 5% chance going ahead.

Just don't think it's safe to allow mass gatherings to go ahead until we have a proper vaccine for this, as if one person on the farm is infected, then the risk of 20,000 people getting infected is suddenly extremely high as everyone is camping in the same grounds for a whole weekend.

I think R&L will also inevitably be cancelled, 100,000 people in a confined space for 4 days straight, no way is that going to be allowed to go ahead- also they are going to struggle as many artists are going to pull out by then and reschedule their tours.

Festivals rescheduled to September look promising to go ahead with the way the situation currently stands at this moment.

If you're interested, it's probs worth grabbing a ticket anyway if you're happy to not have the ticket money spare until August. They posted this on their socials last week, saying that a cancellation will result in a refund.

[Jack.194]

Do people think I'll be safe waiting until late April to buy a ticket (if it hasn't been cancelled by then)?

I'm slightly hopefully of the festival going ahead seeing as it's quite small, and also I read a report written by a few statiscians (is that spelt right?) that the peak deaths per day for the virus is now expected to be beginning of April.

[Jack.194]

Also just had a quick look at the first poster from last year, and the full Clashfinder, and highlighted the acts that were announced on the first poster last year. 

Had no idea there would be so many more acts to come, although given the way the virus is progressing I fear I may be getting excited about the festival at the wrong time!
