Released last night

There's a st load of gigs to be re-arranged for 2021 (assuming travel etc allowed then) plus w/ footie/sports seasons in a mess (re use of larger venues) & the inevitable loss of some venues it'll be a logistical nightmare to sort out - and that's just in London.

On top of the tours that will already be booked but announced for the large venues for next year too,

New FNM dates just posted on Twitter (Official, not up-Rod's). Broadly all rescheduled for 12-mths time.

Came to post this. Seems more sensible than punting a few months (like a lot of bands) and at least they haven't cencelled.

Wife's just come downstairs to say the same. Had to be done, and glad the Birmingham date has moved to a Friday.

It's a familiar feeling though, I had tickets to see them on the King For a Day tour they cancelled as they'd fallen out with another guitarist. Got to see them on Album of the Year tour though which more than made up for it.

I too had tickets for KFOAD tour - have never managed to get tickets since until this one! Ah well, I can wait another year.

Anyone else got a "ticket" to see Steel Panther stream tomorrow evening?




https://www.steelpantherrocks.com/blogs/news/steel...


Its the first band ive seen who is doing a full stage show online, rather than just a badly shot at home webcam...

I had an email from The Lowry this week asking if this sort of thing is something I'd be interested in ? (okay, not Steel Panther, but you get the idea).

No, I would not be interested in any way, shape of form.

A-Ha from November is now in May 2021.

I'll be amazed if that goes ahead either.

Social distancing and masks - who's going to want to go to anything ?

Frank Turner's playing a live gig tonight at The Grand in Clapham to see how feasible gigs are at the moment with social distancing. I don't think we need masks at gigs do we? I went to an art exhibition at the weekend and they said we didn't need one in there.
Maybe seated Jazz gigs can start up soon but I don't know what's going to have to happen in order to open up enough for crowds of people getting sweaty and singing in a tiny area.

I don' think you need a mask as long as people are 2m apart. That works if it's a new event, since they can limit the ticket sales. But not if it's already sold out at pre-CV levels (because who decides who can't go?).

But, at 2m, as you say, are they feasible economically ?

And if they go back to normal capacity, I reckon that would mean masks. And again, as you say, how's that going to work ?

2m makes it a pretty sad experience, and masks makes it both a sad an physically uncomfortable experience.

Ive got tickets for funeral for a friend in April , im 50/50 if it'll actually go ahead though.

I'd rather mask up and have no social distancing rather than everyone 2m away from each other.
