Organizers of the electronic dance music festival announced Thursday that they have canceled the 2020 winter edition of Tomorrowland due to health concerns connected with the spread of COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus.
“Today, it is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that the French Government has decided to cancel this year’s edition,” Tomorrowland organizers announced onThursday. “Since Saturday we were in close contact with the French Government about the impact of the COVID-19 virus and we finally received their official decision. The French Government is taking drastic measures regarding the COVID-19 virus in France.
This is only the latest French event to be shut down by the coronavirus. On Wednesday, international television market MipTV, set to kick off at the end of the month, was canceled, citing the new government regulations. France has also closed down schools in particularly hard-hit areas of the country and dozens of concerts, and cultural and sporting events have been cancelled or postponed France-wide due to the outbreak.
