To Shake Financial Woes, Tomorrowland Calls for Three Weekends of Festival Action In 2022
The organizers of Tomorrowland are making their intentions clear that they want to return bigger than ever in 2022. After receiving an initial green light at the national level, the iconic Belgian event reeled from a last second rug-pull when local officials refused to grant organizers essential event permits in order to make their 2021 edition happen. This year marked the second consecutive cancellation of Tomorrowland due to pandemic related concerns. The festival typically draws in 400,000 attendees annually. Now facing mounting debt, Tomorrowland says it’s essential they be granted permission to host the event across three weekends in 2022. “We really have to do this to cushion the financial hangover,” Tomorrowland’s Debby Wilmsen told Het Laatst...

Over 70,000 Party In Dutch Streets for “Unmute Us” Protest: Watch
On August 21st, hundreds of Dutch music organizations carried out the #UnmuteUs protest through six Dutch cities.

“Unmute Us”: Over 450 Dutch Music Festivals to Protest Government’s COVID-19 Restrictions
In the wake of the recent extension of a ban on music festivals in the Netherlands, over 450 festival organizers have planned a protest.

The catalyst was the demise of Tomorrowland, whose organizers were led on for months after the government indicated a favorable outlook for the festival’s 2021 edition. However, the iconic dance music fest was forced to cancel after its request for an event permit was abruptly denied by officials. ID&T, the nation’s largest festival production entity, recently took the Dutch government to court with the hopes of rece...
