If we have rolled-over tickets for 2020 will these be valid for 2022? Even if it goes ahead this year many people will not feel safe attending a large event and it's not clear yet whether everyone will have been able to have been vaccinated by then.

I live in Spain - have been reading about Primavera Sound holding a test event to see how possible it is...went very well apparently so you may well be right...hope so...would love to come back... if they ever open the airports again!!

We shall be hoping that this does happen - crossing all things that can be crossed

Blimey, what a load of negativity to a positive and optimistic post! Thank you for giving us hope and fingers crossed it is possible to go ahead.

Was a great weekend with my kids a few years ago when the Stranglers were playing. Was well worth the trip from the Black Country. Well organised and brilliant for little uns .

Great news Peter - so many doom and gloom mongers around who are fed a daily diet of misery and who obviously find it hard to be optimistic and positive. If it's on we'll be there as always!

Really keeping fingers crossed 🤞 that wickham will go ahead.. 🥳🤞🥳

I think using the word ‘confident’ is a little premature if not arrogant sounding. Hopeful or optimistic maybe. I hope so too but I wouldn’t count on it.

Brilliant news, the best news I've had for weeks, nice to have this to look forward to

I certainly hope so. Missing live music soooooo much.

It'll be jam packed then!

The issue at Glastonbury was apparently refusal of insurers to cover the enormous cancellation costs. Are you saying you have no cancellation costs right up until 1 week before the event? Or is it that your cancellation costs are so much less insurance is more easily available? (I’m genuinely interested to know as a regular at Glastonbury and Wickham). Fingers crossed.

We have tickets held over and so really hope this can go ahead but in all reality can’t see thousands of people together in small spaces for a good while yet unfortunately 😕 The vaccine will mean those with it won’t get so sick around 80% ish still leaves 20% ish who will still get quite ill and everyone vaccinated or not can pass Covid on. So with our younger music lovers who won’t get vaccines til perhaps summer/autumn too many are still vulnerable to this nasty virus 🦠- If we aim for 2022 that might be when we are out of the woods.

My hubby and I were discussing last night..we are huge festival fans.. i volunteer and steward on loads. I genuinely do not think festivals of this size will come back until covid is gone. Think about it...even with vaccine we still all have to show a negative test to go to a large gathering..for example ..on a cruise or to enter a country.. as the vaccine doesn't stop the spread as yet. So how can we allow..THOUSANDS to get together and mix over a weekend? The toilets...the food vans...the bins...the closeness... and thats without taking into account the staff to steward and the insurance to hold an event? I think small SD concerts may go ahead in the foreseeable future but all MASS gatgerings won't happen again for maybe two years..maybe more.. I have tickets held over for over 6 festivals and concerts plus booked to volunteer for another 5! So it hurts...

Looking forward to live music at festivals again this year, hope Wickham can go ahead, and are not pressured to cancel!

Hopefully the team and I will be there too!

Fingers crossed for a proper summer! xx

Fantastic news. Everyone needs something to look forward to right now. 😍

And a better ticket price as well 😊😊

what's it got to do with a vaccine?

You do know the vaccine only stops you getting serious complications allegedly. It doesn't stop people passing it on or catching it!!!

Small festivals Rock ! We’re hoping Between The Trees Festival makes an appearance this year too.

Oh Peter, I really hope you're right and we all have something fabulous to look forward to. I'm happy to ignore all the negative responses...I'm excited at a possibility...nuff said xxx

I hope you are able to go ahead this year, it is much needed 👍🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🥰

A festival just for me
