Sad its off but its the right thing not to reschedule
Gigs are off the table for a very very long time
Liam as good as intentions was to put on NHS gig should never been allowed to announce it for a date this year that will never be allowed to go ahead.

The London gig in June has also officially been cancelled now.
I'm going to be minted this summer with all these gigs getting cancelled.

The whole point of these lockdown measures right now and then sustaining them for the next few weeks is to ensure the NHS can handle a second wave if/when it comes and the country doesn't have to go into lockdown again, though. So it's not a definite that gigs/matches etc will be off for the rest of the year. The summer - yeh, out of the question, and no real issue with these gigs being cancelled (expected it anyway). But also no issue with announcing gigs for October etc.

But also no issue with announcing gigs for October etc. It will be cancelled sadly. While its amazing what Liam is doing for the NHS its stupid of the promoters announcing this when in reality they know it will be called off. Absolutely no way will 20,000 people be allowed into such a confined space when there is no treatment for this virus. Thousands of people there could be infected and not even know it. They then get onto the tube spreading it, go back o their families spreading it. Be a disaster waiting to happen. All the top experts all over the world say mass gatherings, sports events, festivals cant go on until this thing is treatable and that sadly maybe a year away at the earliest. Also the point of the lockdown was too slow down the number of infections and deaths which it is slowly doing. It will not get rid of the virus. Don't you think putting 20,000 people in a place like the O2 could help start a second wave and the irony is the people at the gig would be the ones needed to save peoples lives again which they wouldnt be able to if they were all in quarantine or worse still being treated in intensive care themselves.

We'll just have to see. I'm going off what governments are saying and France and Germany have laid out their plans. Countries will not be going into lockdown again after this - whenever 'this' ends. There's no treatment for a lot of viruses. This virus has been around in the UK since December at least - going off the number of respiratory deaths that were put down to 'flu' at the back end of last year. There was no talk of cancelling events in Jan-Feb (rightly or wrongly). There has to be some hope. If they get cancelled, so be it, I'm sure there's other dates which they'll have as back up. If it's safe to go ahead they will go ahead and if not they won't. Don't want to derail a thread as there's a place to talk about it already! Just have to hold out hope and if the worst happens, it's only a concert at the end of the day.
