With the unfortunate news that Ultra Music Festival Miami 2020 has been canceled due to the fears of the spreading of the coronavirus, it seems yet another electronic dance music festival has been canceled. In an official statement on their Instagram page, Tomorrowland Winter has confirmed that the French Government has decided to cancel the upcoming event (along with all major events taking place in the near future) to help combat the spread of COVID-19. It’s not all bad news however as the ski area will still be open for those who would like to partake.
The official statement: “In the beginning of February the build-up of Tomorrowland Winter 2020 in Alpe d’Huez started. Today, it is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that the French Government has decided to cancel this year’s edition (March 14 -21). Since Saturday we were in close contact with the French Government about the impact of the COVID-19 virus (coronavirus) and we finally received their official decision. The French Government is taking drastic measures regarding the COVID-19 virus in France. Therefore they are enforcing the cancellation of large events, bringing together people from different nationalities on closed festival grounds and event locations.
The ski area of Alpe d’Huez Grand Domaine Ski (Alpe d’Huez, Oz en Oisans, Vaujany, Auris and Villard Reculas) will remain open for all visitors, including all normal activities (ski lifts, slopes, bars, restaurants…), just like all other ski resorts in France. All our visitors will be contacted personally later today, by e-mail and within the Tomorrowland Account, regarding the next steps.”
