The eligibility of Fiona Apple is in question for this draft.
The rules state that, "the act must be alive, performed at two festivals since 2014 or be booked for two upcoming festivals, and not be officially broken up or retired".
Her status is ultimately in question since her last live festival performance was at Ohana in 2017, but she was chosen under the impression that she was available since the performed at The New Yorker Festival which streamed online in October 2020. It will, however, return as a live festival next year.
Should Fiona be available since the rule states that she must have performed at two festivals during that time frame or is she unavailable since one of those festivals was not in person?
- the act must be alive ✅ - performed at two festivals since 2014 or be booked for two upcoming festivals ✅ - not be officially broken up or retired ✅
Ultimately what is in question is whether The New Yorker Festival counts as a “festival”. The festival has taken place since 1999 and only pivoted to a virtual event in 2020 for the pandemic. The festival promotes and markets itself as a festival with a full program and lineup. Every article / press piece online refers to it as a festival, including Wikipedia.
Based on the wording of the rules, Fiona Apple is eligible.
