Other shows in Europe in September/October/November/December 2021 are still on the list. Maybe they will be rescheduled too.Quote

Over here in Germany, Elton Johns arena shows, scheduled for October 2020, postponed to Sep/Oct 2021 have now been rescheduled to May 2023 (!). Yes, 2023 that is.

Farmaid and the Pandemic
8-18-21
Lots is going on in our world right now. I find myself wondering whether Farmaid will be safe for everyone with the Covid pandemic surging. I worry about that. I don’t want to let anybody down, but still can’t shake the feeling that it might not be safe for everyone. I worry about audiences coming together in these times. The show is sold out.
All you people who can’t go to a concert because you still don’t feel safe, I stand with you. I don’t want you to see me playing and think it’s safe now. I don’t want to play until you feel safe, and it is indeed, safe.
My soul tells me it would be wrong to risk having anyone die because they wanted to hear music and be with friends.
No matter where you are. I am with you. Do what you must, but think it through. We will be back. There is much work to do together.
Since we know vaccinated people can catch and spread Covid, I worry about the children who could become infected after Farmaid, just by being with someone, maybe a parent, who caught the virus at Farmaid and didn't know it. There are already too many children in hospitals.
While I respect Willie, John and Dave's decisions to stick with it and play, I am not of the same mind. It is a tough call.
As time passes, I hope the path ahead will become clear. be well love ny

Curiously, Elton John's September 2021 shows have now moved to October 2021 - postponed by just a couple of weeks.

From Kings Of Leon:
Out of an abundance of caution, Kings of Leon will postpone their next few tour dates due to an individual on the band’s team testing positive for COVID. Shows are set to resume on August 27th at Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA.

The Elton John show in Norway at Telenor Arena, same as The Rolling Stones performed at during their 2014 tour, has been rescheduled from Sept 25 to Oct 22, i.e. for a month.
It's just a gamble. I don't know about rules in other countries, but in Norway, a show with a crowd of 25,000 at Telenor Arena is not possible according to current covid-19 law. There is today in Norway a maximum of 5,000 people allowed at public events like football, concerts and so on.
I don't think Elton John is prepared to perform at a 20% capacity crowd. So I assume they just reschedule one month at a time, and hope for things to open up. Meanwhile, covid numbers go up in the area, because the weather is getting colder, people stay more indoor, school start, and Delta is around.

yeah, just saw that tonight, which flies in the face of the bravdo they're exhibiting at the moment with Lion's games and the stage 4 opening they insist will take place on Sep. 7.
So if it's true, why aren't they starting to take action?
