My one and only little festival has fallen foul of Boris's 6 in a bed rule and been cancelled.
Bum, I'm more disappointed than I should be.

Chippenham has already been cancelled - 2021 Official Web Site (chippfolk.co.uk)
The uncertainty must be a nightmare for organisers of summer festivals.  Normally, they would be busy selling ‘early bird’ tickets in January.

Bearded Theory has already decided to move from May until September, with a new line up. September could be a busy month for festivals if things go to plan.

Problem is that September nights can often be far too cold for camping.

Sad, but inevitable. Time to wait and see how many other festivals take their cue from this news...

Two reasons to hope for the Aug/Sept festivals at least: a) an extra couple of months, and b) they don't have anywhere near the same infrastructures to be created as Glastonbury does.  Having said all that, I reckon it will be 2022 before we see any proper festival activity....
