Hopes for Tomorrowland 2021 were dashed June 17 with the announcement that local government officials will not allow the Belgian mega-festival to happen.
People of tomorrow have a rest moment at mainstage during the first day of the Tomorrowland music festival, Friday 19 July 2019.
While the Belgian national government said two weeks ago that major outdoor events with up to 75,000 peoplestarting Aug. 13, Tomorrowland -- scheduled to take place over two weekends on Aug. 27-29 and Sept. 3-5 -- encountered opposition from the local governments of Boom and Rumst, the adjacent cities where the festival takes place.
For Tomorrowland to happen, its roughly 75,000 daily attendees would need to undergo testing for each day of the three-day event, officials said Thursday. The Belgian government stipulates that private companies cannot do the testing, and today local officials noted that the police do not have the resources to provide that level of testing. The police also have stated that they would not be able to secure the area sufficiently if they would also have to check IDs and proof of vaccination.
