The “Country Bauska” festival planned for July will not take place this year. This is due to the restrictions currently in place in the country and still in force, and precautionary measures that prevent the event from being carried out to the planned extent.
Taking care of the health and safety of festival visitors, artists and organizers, as well as taking into account the established precautionary measures in the country, it will not be possible to meet country music friends in Bauska in the summer of 2021.
“Unfortunately, the situation in the country, including the opportunity to assemble, has still not returned to pre-pandemic levels. This also prevents us from organizing a festival this summer, which included not only a very colorful music program with foreign and local artists, but also a number of other activities. There are still limited opportunities for foreign musicians to come to the festival, it must also be taken into account that such a large gathering as at music festivals is still unsafe and can endanger both the event organizers and artists, as well as the visitors themselves, ”explains festival producer Mārtiņš Jātnieks. .
“I am convinced that there are loyal friends of country music in Latvia, so I am sure that next year we will return with an even bigger scope, and in a great atmosphere we will be able to create a holiday.”
It should be reminded that the “Country Bauska” festival was postponed last year – it would have taken place for the twentieth time. The date of the postponed festival in 2022 will be July 7-8. Purchased tickets for event visitors will also be valid for the 2022 festival.
