wondering if that's going to be the timeline for the NA dates as well - next year as opposed to later this year....

Many Euro dates are tied to festivals though, where US dates can be scheduled independently. I bet they try to get some US dates in later this year.

That's a good point - I always forget that. I hope they are able to play some, if not all, of those US dates this year.

I've been following this stuff pretty closely for work and I'd be *shocked* if there are arena concerts in the fall.

The inability of fans to get refunds on these 'rescheduled' shows is starting to become a big deal. Will be interesting to see how that plays out going forward.

I know it's a factor for me - I live in Iowa, so the vast majority of shows for me require travel. Between me and all of my ticket buddies/family members who go to shows, we have thousands tied up in forthcoming shows that I likely will not go to if the rescheduled date is not a fit for me. I'd just as soon get a lot of my ticket money refunded for pretty much anything other than PJ at this time. I'm also extremely lucky in that neither my wife or I have lost our jobs - I can't imagine being unemployed and not being able to get a refund on these tickets.

I had 5 trips planned. I got all 5 hotels refunded. 1 flight refunded. 1 flight refund pending. 1 2-year flight voucher. 1 flight isn't accepting cancellations that far out yet. I'm doing pretty good, but if I can't use that voucher that'll sting a bit ($700).

MLB isn't offering refunds yet.

There aren't going to be any major gatherings like concerts until they have a vaccine for this. Even as this thing peaks and then goes down and we relax the social distancing guidelines a bit they will have to be reinstated as we see peaks and valleys for the next year until there's a vaccine.

Unfortunately, this.

Agree, but it's more like 18 months for a vaccine. Anyone telling you less is lying. Not only is 18 months aggressive but they have to manufacture billions of doses.

1/4 of the population will line up for this vaccine and yell at their government officials about the lack of access.

3 weeks later, no one will get it, no matter how much you beg.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

The organisers of Lollapalooza Paris have just confirmed that the event will take place next year on the weekend of 17/18 July and that Pearl Jam are the first confirmed headliner.
