Wide Days postponed till later in the year

A Message from the organisers of Wide Days

Following WHO and UK government advice in relation to coronavirus, we have taken the decision to postpone Wide Days until 23-25 July.

While some areas of the programme might need to be adapted, our priority is to deliver the showcases and the conference as planned, with additional panel content focusing on the many issues arising from the current situation. We are also exploring a range of streaming options for speakers and delegates who are unable to attend in person.

The decision has been made in consultation with our partners, performers and speakers and we would like to thank them and everyone who has continued to support Wide Days. We hope that by choosing postponement over cancellation, we can continue to host an important forum for the music community, while also providing our freelance event team with some income in the difficult months ahead. During the coming weeks we expect everyone to be focused on coping with the immediate impact of the pandemic, so we won’t be making any further programme announcements until May.

However, we plan to post previous panels from our archive and are happy to share news of crowdfunders, artist streams and any other initiative which can help our friends in the music community. We hope to see you in July. xx Michael, Olaf & the Wide Team Wide Days was launched in
