Lots of festivals in the Netherlands now getting the green light, including 3 days (40k visitors a day) MysteryLand.
They really got f*cked over by local authorities. While national gov is giving every event a "go" the local authorities do not have enough emergency services in place in that weekend. Awakenings claims (and I think this is a good argument) they can arrange a lot of that privately themselves. Police are complaining they cannot go on holiday leave because of all the postponed events now taking place in a short season but I think that's rubbish...they had no events, no nightlife and no football matches for over a year!So odd that Awakenings was cancelled.
Yeah Solomun is doing these 5 hour outdoor events on multiple places now right?Really wanted to go to the Solomun set but can't trust the government to not sting me in the wallet

Amsterdam (got my tickets!!), Antwerp and the UK too?
I've not seen a UK one?
Looking at this tickets are sold outThe general feeling in The Netherlands is....that events in august have a high chance of going ahead.
But be aware there is a heavy debate about a test-based society requiring you to get a PCR test for just about anything that's not essential to your life. They are making those tests cheaper than the usual PCR test though, but I have no idea if that discount accounts for tourists too.
It could be that you can go without a test if you have a green EU vaccination passport but our government are nut jobs and are currently saying they are not sure if that is sufficient...
I got myself some tickets for events starting mid July because I think outdoor + testing will pave the way for a normal non-distance event.
If people are still looking for a nice festival to travel for..check out StrafWerk mid august, AmeIIAme, Stussy, Artbat, Anotr, Gerd Janson, Honey Dijon, Henrik Swarz, Kerri Chandler, Maceo Plex, Patrick Topping, Sam Paganini and more.
