Although it seems the world is getting back to normal, and with festivals all across the world set to take place in the coming months, the festival juggernaut that is Tomorrowland has officially confirmed they will not be hosting an event this year. After the postponement of their 2020 edition, Tomorrowland had plans to make 2021 the year for a return and had been working closely with their government to do so in the safest of manners. It was not until the local councils of Boom and Rumst had doubts on how it could be run without harming the progress that they have made in relation to the pandemic. After several discussions back and forth, Tomorrowland has officially announced they have cancelled the 2021 event, statement below.

The statement reads: “Dear People of Tomorrow, It is with heavy heart that our organization must announce that the 16th edition of Tomorrowland Belgium cannot take place in 2021. The entire team fought till the end and did everything in its powers to write a new chapter in the history of Tomorrowland. Our dream was to welcome the People of Tomorrow, who we’ve been missing for too long, to celebrate life to the fullest. But unfortunately, the local government has not given the permit to organize Tomorrowland. We keep looking positively towards the future and strongly believe that music will unite us again soon. Ticketholders for Tomorrowland Belgium will be contacted personally. Live Today, Love Tomorrow, Unite Forever.”
