Hi everyone, February is already upon us and it is clear the disruption to our indutry will carry on throughout the year. Glastonbury, that takes place at the end of June, has cancelled (and with it my gig of organising an authot tent there). This is entirely understandable - it has gigantic infrastructure costs. Other music festivals seem to be clinging on to the hope they might happen. The organisers of Slam Dunk in Leeds scheduled to take place end of May said, ‘We’ve still got some optimism”. Likewise the people behind Trnsmt in Scotland, whom hope to bring 50,000 people to Glasgow in July to watch Lewis Capaldi, are pressing ahead, saying they were very different to Glastonbury in that, “It takes us days rather than months to build.”
