Tramlines have agreed to extend the period for claiming refunds by 48 hours as demanded by Richard as he had no knowledge they were still advertising him as appearing and were refusing to do refunds.

Sarah Cain This is the gig thats making you show you have been vaccinated or covid free. Good on him I say. Standing up for our human rights. ✌🏾 x

Bettina Hepp What you did was brave and admirable and I can only thank you for doing this! Stay strong, there will be pushback. Stop medical apartheid.

Alison Wheeler Richard I love you but stop trying to make Tramlines look bad, I've supported them since they were a small free Innercity festival. If it was said you wouldn't play with restrictions they likely assumed you would play because there isn't any! Showing a QR code on the way in is no different to showing proof of age. Hardly a "restriction", just a health & safety measure. Once inside there is no social distancing or masks. They weren't "refusing" to do refunds, the deadline had passed the other day & they probably had to put further measures in place through Gigantic. I will continue to support festivals and music venues before they all go under, seems not everyone thinks that way!

Aroona Smith They are awful to do that but it’s so decent of Rich trying to look after his fans.. he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Deborah Armstrong It really doesn't matter if you lot agree with his stance on playing a venue with restrictions, the main problem here is the fans not being able to get refunds due to false advertising......and he has demanded this to be sorted out, so he deserves some thanks 👍

Neil Hoskins It's great to see someone of his stature standing against medical apartheid. And to add to that, he demands fans get refunds. Good man.

Gill Rushton Does anyone know how we go about getting a refund? The link they sent still says it’s finished.

Liam Begley Fully respect Ashcroft’s choice of where he puts on a gig and his opinion! But on the other hand I don’t suppose people object to ID or age checks to get into certain places? Don’t suppose people minded that even before covid, countries would require tourists have certain vaccinations to travel there? Absolutely people didn’t mind! They just took the stance of attend and show ID or not attend at all, or get vaccinated or not travel to that country! However because it’s covid, all of a sudden, checks and vaccinations are a violation of their human rights! The same checks are causing an offence somehow just because it included covid! And yet it’s other people that need to ‘wake up’!!!!

Luke Harriman Why isn't he actually playing? I would half understand if it was some crappy socially distanced, seated nonsense but he's playing fully seated venues later in the year.

Keiron Rose Just play the gig 🥴

Vicky Bartlett Some musicians do not want to see restrictions put onto their fans it’s understandable it’s probably the first time some singers / bands have had to consider anything like this

Laurence Reddin Thank you!🌻

Mark Phillips Top man and big respect to Richard Ashcroft.Along with Ian brown , Eric Clapton , Noel Gallagher and many others who will not put up and go along with the governments/msm's bullshit.

Danny Fort Good on you Dicky! See you in Liverpool 👍

Angela Hogg This is amazing. Thank you for taking this stand. Only by hitting these companies in the pocket will they realise this is not acceptable!

Winter Fae Thanks for being the voice in an industry that's selling out

Eleo Fantini great man! thanks x your example and consistency. you didn't get bent on money. free soul

Stephen Lyth He’s a bloody great bloke and I love him

Joe Normal "STAND UP!" https://youtu.be/LDVNnXOYw48

Tom McManus "They don't own me!! Top man Mr. Ashcroft 👏

Chris Gala Huge respect 🙂

Keef Allen Slater I love this guy and his music but don't agree with him on this one. His choice though, won't stop me listening to his music.

Elisa Elifree Thank you ❤️

Luca Biondi Thanks Richard

Robin Fadtke Just hurry up and come to California!

Richard wishes to confirm that in spite of the publicity issued by the tramlines organisers he is not appearing at the tramlines festival on july 24. He does not understand why he is billed as appearing. Once he was advised that he could only appear...

Michael Plügge Everyone applauding here should rather applaud the NHS or undertakers as they will have a busy time coming once more.

Shelly Snow So is he cancelling because he doesn't believe in any government health directive where covid is concerned? It's very confusing. A lot of us are assuming it's because of social distancing and mask rules that have changed but sounds like he disagrees with any form of health regulation. That's going too far.

Lucindra Lorgsval Respect for your decision, I hope one day you will play here in Germany without any restrictions, peace and love🥰😇

Joanne Wannan Good on you Richard, and totally respect your decision- sorry but had to "The Drugs dont work, nor the masks" ❤

Jay Shaw People are not lab rats and freedom isn’t something the government own. More artists need to take a stand like this.

Susan Hafferkamp My respect for you as an American, with respect for what your speaking for, many people won't get or understand. Hold onto your beliefs. Thank you. You're on my bucket list to meet one day. Hang onto your beliefs. They mean lot to me. Thank You. I am so proud of you for STANDING,UP, FOR OUT. Whatever. Very proud of you.

Kay Benjamin Good, glad I didn’t get tickets now. Was tempted purely to see Richard Ashcroft. Rest of its rubbish and ticket prices are ridiculous.

Natalie Foster Totally gutted but understand why. Asked for a refund & hope to see him again soon under different circumstances

Neil Connor I'm gonna hazard a guess that those who are approving of this stance don't have tickets...

Heather Toye Clucas Well done Richard for standing up for our rights.

Angela Rogerson Good Man, just like Ian Brown & many others ... total respect !

Neil Connor What I really don't understand is that he is just hurting his fans. The only people losing out are his fans. The gig will go ahead anyway without him. It has zero impact. Only possibility is that fewer people might attend on the Sunday. Tickets are already sold out though, so can't see it making a difference to organisers. So, man of the people - sticking it to... the people. 🤦‍♂️

Natalie Gil I don’t get it? The event doesn’t require you to be vaccinated. It says you can either be vaccinated or take a negative lateral flow test 48 hours before, and then zero social distancing and no masks once inside. So why is that a problem?

Victoria Warner Good on you not being a slave to the system 👍🏻

Tez Hodgson Government test event, not one bit surprised that he’s standing by his beliefs, fair play.👍🏻✊🏻

Phil Harrison A man should never apologise for making a stand for something 👏👏👏

Liberta Ó Maoileoin Well done Richard. Great to see artists standing up to tyranny ❤️🎤🎸🎼

Shelly Snow I feel sad for fans going just to see him but i applaud him for standing up for what he thinks is right or safe. This festival is a guinea pig for the government and states so on their site. New rules means no social distancing and no masks and the government will assess how this works and use this to inform future events. That also means changed requirements for performers. He is allowed to change his mind if they have changed the rules. I wouldn't be going even if masks were mandatory and he was playing.

Gill Rushton Takes the piss announcing this today when refunds had to be applied for by yesterday! We were only going there to see Richard. Really bad.

Neil Connor So, it's full capacity gig, no social distancing, no masks - essentially a normal gig - but refusing to play! Wtf??? 😕

Jason Paget It’s full capacity isn’t it? No masks, no problem surely?

Vicky Bartlett I’ve been to loads of concerts but that was pre-Covid & 1. I’m too old to go to a gig / festival and 2. Because of how widespread the virus has been, do you think a large gathering like a festival can happen like it used to ? LFT tests at least will be needed or certificates of vaccination.

Robert Bennett Total waste of space Ashcroft, thousands have bought tickets to see you and you let everyone down to make a political gesture . I hope the Sheffield public remember this the next time your tickets go on sale

Wesley Ford The jabs dont work, unlucky man, a song for the vaccinators...you rename a whole album in homage to this decision 😂

Waritsara Karlberg I used to think he’s a Nob even though I will always love his music. I deeply apologise for being the nob myself. Richard will always receive 100% respect from me ❤️
