Tomorrowland Winter has fallen victim to the mass hysteria surrounding the COVID-19 virus (Coronavirus) a spokesperson took to the festival’s Instagram account this morning and posted this message…
“In the beginning of February the build-up of Tomorrowland Winter 2020 in Alpe d’Huez began. Today, it is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that the French government has decided to cancel this years 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 normal activities (ski lifts, slopes, bars, restaurants…) just like all other ski resorts in France. All of our visitors will be contacted personally later today, by e-mail and within the Tomorrowland account regarding the next steps.” -Tomorrowland Winter IG

It is uncertain if any other major festivals will see the same fate this year. However we are hopeful that things will return to normal for the summer music festival season!
