Tomorrowland 2021’s dates, which were to take place at the end of July, will move to August 27-29 and September 3-5 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The festival released a statement regarding the decision to move the dates later this year.
“Our regular festival weekends, at the end of July, will probably arrive too soon this year because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We hope that the situation will improve by the end of the summer. Therefore, for 2021 only, Tomorrowland will move to August 27, 28 and 29 (Festival Weekend 1) and September 3, 4 and 5 (Festival Weekend 2).”
However, due to the uncertainty of the pandemic situation, the festival also stated that there is a possible chance this year’s edition could be cancelled.
“We want to stay positive and hopeful towards an unforgettable end of summer of 2021, but realize that there is also a chance the 16th edition of Tomorrowland could take place in 2022,” reads part of the statement.
