I don't think it's impossible. I'm thinking that this time next year they'll have a fair chunk of unspent budget, from all the stuff they won't be having to spend on this summer.

And I think spending on joyous stuff like live music will be appreciated to lift the mood of the nation, as well as help kickstart a repressed economy.

Let's hope things have improved enough in year's time so that things are back to normal.

I guess, I just can’t see it happening imo.

Pretty sure it’s going to be in Coventry, quoted from the annual BBC report 17/18. Do not ask how I came on to reading it. 

Quote

The BBC created new events like Contains Strong Language,
a spoken word festival and Radio 1’s Big Weekend came to Hull. Conversations with Coventry City of Culture 2021 have started, building on the learnings from Hull.

No - it’ll be a bit diverse than that.

How likely do we think this is? Personally can't see it going ahead unless they push it back to late-Summer.
