SXSW got cancelled. Everyone seems to be very concerned about people travelling in internationally for festivals. What is the word on Jazz Fest?

I’m planning to stay home and listen to average bands on YouTube instead.

It’s two months out.

There’s plenty of time to see if this thing dies down.

It’s March 7th, why would it “already be in the works?”

I think of it more as a drug festival that's generous enough to provide live music

I’d imagine some of these contracts get harder to bail on the closer you get and there would be some loose contingency planning in place at the moment... just in case, if nothing else.

Buku will be the weather balloon for how AEG feels but JF is a different beast with different demographics

It has a two week incubation period and a 21 day quarantine. Cases haven't even made their way to LA yet. By the time the first case gets off of quarantine, we'll be into April.

Aint getting cancelled. Austin is is a bunch of hippie alarmist who cry at any chance given. Jazz fest will go on. Warm weather decreases the chance of spreading as well.

The Corona Virus doesn’t do well in warm and heat environments.

Jazz Fest will be fine.

Everyone needs to calm the frick down
