jhulud Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 As Friends Rust have backed out of the fest. For personal and safety reasons. Understandably. Bury Your Dead are taking their spot. N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smailtronic Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) They just cancelled the New Orleans Jazz Fest, which was scheduled for 2-3 weeks after Furnace Fest. Louisiana and Alabama have virtually identical low vaccination rates. Any chance we see another delay/outright cancellation, or are they gonna plow ahead?

I get the feeling that it’ll get delayed or maybe cancelled altogether. Bands have started to drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 This was posted in one of the trading groups I'm in on FB...if major events like the Jazz Festival...which we all know is a pretty big deal...then more to follow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smailtronic Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 We're now 14 days past the start of Lolla, and there have been 203 documented Covid cases among the 385,000+ attendees. If FF was waiting for this as a bellwether, they may be feeling better about moving forward. Granted, Lolla was requiring vax or a negative test, and I still haven't heard either of those from FF.

N8TRU Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CSfc3cKJC9R/?utm_medium=copy_link Shout out to DWP for doing the best thing in interest of everyone, especially those touring who desperately need the income. Lots of whiners but they're all from the states where hospitals are ready to collapse. No freedom without responsibility 🤘 It's too bad this festival is in a very anti-science state but hopefully they can make the fest happen.

If I was on this fest I'd drop too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 AL is as much a shitshow as FL & TX right now. While I commend the FF promoters for the added safety measures & all they’re rolling out, I personally feel it’d be more prudent to re-schedule or cancel.

kyacrash Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I'm still on the fence. I had tickets last year but opted for a refund instead of rolling them over (too much uncertainty). With three-day passes sold out I'll probably pass because it's so damn expensive anyway. I wish all the bands I wanted to see were on the same day 😅.

N8TRU Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Drowningman dropped the pre-show. Mewithoutyou dropped. Deafheaven was added to Saturday and will perform a 10 Years Gone set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smailtronic Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Anybody game to meet up for food/drinks one night after the fest? With all the Thursday pre-shows, maybe Friday or Saturday night would be good? diabretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippingOut Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) now apparently Counterparts, Copeland, Life In Your Way, and Poison the Well all dropped off. Glassjaw will be playing instead? Edited September 14, 2021 by FlippingOut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybar516 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 looking to part with 2x 3 day passes for this @ best offer if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Probably a long shot, but if anyone attending furnace fest would be willing to try to snag a Be Well demo cassette for me, I’d be very appreciative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallowken78 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 In hindsight, I'm glad I'm not making the trek. Too many overlapping performances that would've stressed me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No This Is Patrick Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Unoriginal Vinyl is doing some vinyl collabs with Solid State Records each day of the fest. But they are only selling at the fest. (Check UV on Facebook) IF someone wants to be a pal and pick up the three "mystery" releases, I'd really appreciate it. Can reimburse and send a little extra also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I'd assume that they are exclusive variants of existing or upcoming presses. I'd be surprised if the entire pressing was exclusively sold at the fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
