I note that gigs are being advertised and tickets are being sold for all sorts of gigs that will take place in the coming months but I don't quite get what the experience will be like regarding seating, distancing, toilets, bars, safety etc.
I'm not sure that it's something I desperately want to do again for a wee while.
I guess if gigs are being advertised then it’s a pretty natural progression that tickets will be sold for gigsQuote:

Howdy, guitar fiend. Santana's gig that was meant to take place in Dublin in April was recently cancelled altogether, which is understandable. Robin Trower's tour has been re-scheduled for this November but, as you correctly point out, many of these veteran guitar heroes are now in the more vulnerable group (as are many of their fans).Quote:

I've got tickets for Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets in October, already been postponed from April. I am doubtful but some of my friend shad automatic refunds but not me, so maybe they will have half the capacity or something? I'd talk to St David's Hall if I could get through!
That doesn't seem to be worth the effort imo.Better to do a live stream from a studio and let people party at homeQuote:

Nothing's been said about the Manics gig there in December eitherQuote:

King Crimson had a full tour of the United States this summer, but earlier this year, it was postponed until 2021.

I was meant to see Roddy Ricch earlier this month and it was officially cancelled a week or two before the gig was meant to take place. I think he may come back next year, judging from the message he sent us but they haven't set a date. I'm guessing that you would be in a similar boatQuote:

I’ve a couple of friends in this line of work (tour promotion, production, etc) and from what I’m being told by them this year is being considered a write off with not much newer stuff being planned generally till later in ‘21.
Unsurprisingly they’re feeling a little bleak about things with many already being made redundant and having wiped out their livelihood if working freelance.
You don't even know my mrsQuote:
