Pukkelpop Shifting Ahead in 2021, Regardless of Tomorrowland’s Cancellation

Tomorrowland 2021 was formally canceled after weeks of uncertainty — however one other main Belgian music pageant, Pukkelpop, is a go. 

Simply an hour drive from Tomorrowland’s pageant grounds in Increase, Belgium is the town of Hasselt, the place Pukkelpop is scheduled to happen in August.

Mayor Steven Vandeput reportedly has “full understanding” of the choice made by mayors of Increase and Rumst regarding Tomorrowland. Nevertheless, he has granted permission for Pukkelpop to maneuver ahead as deliberate.

“Every mayor decides autonomously about their very own territory,” he shared through VRT’s De zevende dag. “We made this choice based mostly on our personal analysis, after discussions with specialists which made us say: we have now the arrogance that we are able to do that in a protected method.”

Thus, Pukkelpop is about to happen over August 19 – 22, 2021. The occasion will welcome as much as 75,000 festival-goers who should present proof of vaccination or a destructive PCR check.

With 52 days remaining, the Pukkelpop lineup has but to be introduced.
