Coachella Nuits Sonores Bournemouth 7s
California, United States
Coachella, one of the world’s
largest music festivals, was also
among the first to postpone.
Kicking off the festival season in
mid-April, it will now be one of the
last events to close the season,
if it goes ahead at all. Whether
the elusive Frank Ocean will still
headline is another unknown. Lyons, France
The organisers of electronic
music festival Nuits Sonores
have been among the most
optimistic, moving their event
forward just two months to the
end of July. We have already
seen many festivals scheduled
for July announce their
cancellation, which may leave
Nuits Sonores with the unwanted
distinction of being cancelled
twice in one year. Bournemouth, England
Sports and music festival
Bournemouth 7s has rescheduled
to the end of August - a process
we cover in-depth on pages
19-20, where we speak to the
organisers. At the moment,
it is situated at the very end
of summer, and has a decent
chance of going ahead. Fingers
crossed those on the South Coast
will be able to celebrate the end
of all this madness.
Distortion
Copenhagen, Denmark
Speaking of being cancelled
twice – Distortion in
Copenhagen has already
suffered that fate. After moving
from early June to late August,
the festival was then forced
to cancel altogether after the
Danish government imposed a
blanket ban on all events over
1,000 capacity until 31 August.
