Interesting the organisers of LEP 2020 have gone very silent and not communicating any updated information. Acts are dropping out and NOT being updated either on the website or social media. Guests who have paid several hundred pounds are being kept in the dark… In addition people may not wish to attend now. The health and Safety of guests and staff should be taken into consideration
I agree with Kevin! And WHY are the round 3 of tickets thursday 26 when the situation in Europe is so chaotic and uncertain?! Will the borders even be open in may?
