im in the small minority on these boards but I think it's going to happen in September for a number of reasons. lot can change in 5 months. positive vibes.

Well, you’re a fan on a message board. How about we ask Governor Newsom? As it happens, he was asked today about mass gatherings in California. He foresees no mass attendance events in the state until there is a vaccine:

’The prospect of mass gatherings is negligible at best until we get to herd immunity and we get to a vaccine,” Newsom said. “So large-scale events that bring in hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of strangers altogether across every conceivable difference, health and otherwise, is not in the cards based upon our current guidelines and current expectations.”

There is no chance Ohana is happening in September.

not here to argue and i've personally been crushed by this virus but you can't predict anything 5 months from now. the same way back in December we couldnt have predicted this. as a person who currently lives in LA and sees my surroundings i think we'll be ok by then. some people (you) are doomsday, i am not. if you want a link here - https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america

enjoy your day pal

I am not doomsday. The Governor of our state has already said no events with large crowds in August or September. Ohana is in September. If you can’t accept the reality, that’s your problem.

There were studies coming out in mid to late January that predicted exactly what's happening now. This shouldn't have surprised anyone but here we are. We can't predict the future but it's really impossible for me to see mass gatherings before a vaccine. Anyone thinking that is ignoring what the experts are saying...like most did in January.

then we should have them close this thread since it's a foregone conclusion....no Ohana, no Sea Hear Now....let's move on.....

the same people who are giving these instructions now were completely wrong about covid in January, my point is things can change. im taking this as seriously as anyone but I know people already getting antsy about being quarantined through May, hard to imagine (pun intended) everyone will be put life on hold until a potential vaccine in 2021. ultimately if we are allowed to go while taking precaution i will 100% be there.

First of all, every single scientist and government official who is not part of the Trump administration has been completely accurate about this pandemic and were calling for major action in January. That’s a matter of public record. Things are not changing suddenly as there’s only one person who ever said this would magically disappear. It’s just unfortunate that person happens to be President of the United States.

The decisions are being made on a state level in California. The virus is here. Newsom has been clear on what to expect in regards to mass gatherings at least through September and as he said yesterday, he doesn’t expect them at all until there’s a vaccine. Whether you’re antsy or not is not really a consideration I’m sure in his decision making process. And seriously, how could you possibly believe there’s going to be 15,000 packed onto a beach in a GA area in September is really beyond me and I’m sure most of the other people in this thread.

Not gonna happen... Gonna be next year. LA mayor not gonna let LA do concerts and such so the rest of SoCal can expect the same..

ComeToTX · April 2020

People seem to not understand the difference in shelter in place/quarantine and social distancing. We will not be sheltering in place for the next year but most of us will be social distancing and wearing masks as things start to open up a bit.

Here’s the story on Garcetti’s comments today about no events in 2020. https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2020/04/15/garcetti-sporting-events-concerts-unlikely-in-los-angeles-until-2021-1276698

I agree odds are against anything in 20 and even the first half of 21 is questionable.

But the fact is nobody knows what the future holds. Let’s just wait and see for a couple of months. Ohana is almost half a year away and there is room in the calendar to push it back a couple of months. If it doesn’t happen, so be it, it’s just a festival, but no need to decide now.

Stay safe all.

Agreed. I’m hoping this show goes on with an understanding there’s a very slim chance it does. However with the time frame being over five months away, there’s no need to decide now. Production, etc probably needs two months time? Make a decision then or earlier if CA governor outlaws large events in September.

No need to crush people’s hope, however small, that it still could happen. We all know that’s a slim chance

JazzFest just said no to their proposed rescheduled festival in October... ....so just stop with the false hope that any festival will happen... ESPECIALLY not in NJ or California this fall. I'm sad for loss of Ohana but let's just call this year what it is....

RatherStarved · April 2020

Don’t give up, don’t ever give up.

The_Giant_Midget · April 2020

fwiw Brian Fallon is performing on Ohana's Instagram live right now and seems relatively positive about the festival. doesn't mean much but it's not like he's been informed this won't be happening yet.

I live in California...our Gov won't let it happen...I give up. ...the artists will be informed when we all are....Coachella will not happen, Stagecoach will not happen, Ohanan will not happen in So Cal.

pearljammr78 · April 2020

I’m in California Also. Neither will Aftershock. The mid state fair. Local fairs. What about theme parks. Madness. But it’s all better than being dead. So whatever it takes.

Exactly. Believe me, I'm just as bummed as everyone else. This was going to be an awesome year for concerts for all of us. I'd rather stay healthy.

PJ Oakland was supposed to be this weekend. Then Cypress Hill on 4/20 in Oakland and Rage after that. It was going to be an epic week coming up. And the rest of the year too. But concerts or my health. I’ll take my health. Anyone who believes that mass gatherings will happen this year in California needs to put down the pipe. This year, not a chance. Plus how many just can’t go any longer because of all this missed work or no longer have jobs. It’s over Johnny, over.
