Due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 across the globe, festival producers have made the difficult decision to postpone or cancel many upcoming festivals and events. We’re currently seeing most events originally scheduled in March through June cancel or announce new dates, but it’s not yet clear how long the coronavirus threat will impact the summer festival season.
There are some exceptions, but most organizers are offering refunds or are honoring tickets for rescheduled dates. Please check the festival’s official website or ticketing partner to confirm.
Below is a growing list of the electronic-focused festivals who’ve made announcements on their current status. We’ll update this list as new announcements are made, which is typically daily.
