Stripe through Pukkelpop 2021 | Culture

entertainment">It was already announced on Thursday that the construction of the festival in Kiewit, Hasselt had been stopped. The organization wanted clarity from the government about the Covid Safe Ticket announced on Monday; the proof with which vaccinated and negatively tested visitors can access major events from 13 August. For unvaccinated visitors, the measure would mean that they would have to be tested several times during the festival.

entertainment">“Last Monday it was announced that the current measures make it impossible for us to organize the festival,” the organization writes. “The situation in which the government finds itself is certainly not to be envied. And neither are ours.” Most of the visitors are young and therefore, according to the organization, often not fully vaccinated. “Their happiness, but also their safety, is our main concern.”

entertainment">Pukkelpop would take place this year from 19 to 22 August. The new dates next year are August 18 to 21. About 66,000 visitors are expected every day. Acts like Liam Gallagher, Editors and Billy Nomates would perform during the festival. Dutch names on the bill were Altın Gün, Heideroosjes, The Youth of Today, Joost and Josylvio.
