Door Nina van Zelst 21 april 2020

Vanavond is bekendgemaakt dat alle evenementen in Nederland tot 1 september officieel afgelast zijn. Dit betekent ook dat het grootste hardere stijlen festival in de wereld – Defqon.1 – dit jaar helaas niet zal plaatsvinden.

LEES OOK: Defqon.1, Intents, Dominator, Decibel & vele anderen tot september afgelast door coronavirus

Ieder jaar trekken tienduizenden liefhebbers van meer dan 100 nationaliteiten naar de wasted lands van Biddinghuizen, voor één van de absolute hoogtepunten van het festivalseizoen: Defqon.1. Helaas is de aankomende ‘Primal Energy’ editie nu uitgesteld naar 2021, omdat alle evenementen in Nederland door het coronavirus tot 1 september verboden zijn.

“It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that, due to the global COVID-19 developments and the necessary precautions taken by the authorities, the 2020 edition of Defqon.1 Weekend Festival will be postponed to 2021.

Words cannot describe how we feel about this news. For months, we’ve been working around the clock to provide you with the ultimate festival experience together with our artists, creators and warriors. We cannot imagine a summer without Defqon.1, however, your health and safety is the top priority. It is in times like these that we must stay united as one tribe. Together, we stand.”

“Forever as one tribe.”

Defqon.1 – Primal Energy is verplaatst naar (vooralsnog) het laatste weekend van juni 2021, waarvoor alle reeds aangeschafte tickets ook weer geldig zullen zijn. Om op de hoogte te blijven van het laatste nieuws, kun je de socials van Defqon.1 in de gaten houden. Lees de volledige statement hieronder.

We cannot imagine a summer without Defqon.1, however, your health and safety is the top priority. It is in times like these that we must stay united as one tribe. Together, we stand.
