Music festival organisers at risk too.

Like it points out. Many are uninsured for this kind of eventuality. They will also have paid out quite large sums of money in advance, which they’ll be unable to recoup.

I see they announced yesterday the cancellation of the Reading/Leeds festival. They were still selling tickets last week, which struck me as being wrong, it was pretty obvious they’d have to cancel.

I’ve just read that Rebellion 2020 has been cancelled, but they’ve said to all who have tickets to keep them as they’ll be valid for next year. Shame but as well as social distancing not likely to work in the venue (Winter Gardens, Blackpool) they’ve had bands have to pull out due to travelling from overseas, and punters in the same position. Not to mention that it’s an extra 10,000 people visiting Blackpool and will the towns hotels/B&Bs be open. Shame but makes sense.
