Tomorrowland Winter just announced via a press release that the 2020 edition of the festival has been canceled due to Covid-19 Coronavirus.

In the beginning of February the build-up of Tomorrowland Winter 2020 in Alpe d’Huez started. 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 (March 14 -21). Since Saturday we were in close contact with the French Government about the impact of the COVID-19 virus (coronavirus) and we finally received their official decision.

The French Government is taking drastic measures regarding the COVID-19 virus in France. Therefore they are enforcing the cancellation of large events, bringing together people from different nationalities on closed festival grounds and event locations.

The ski area of Alpe d’Huez Grand Domaine Ski (Alpe d’Huez, Oz en Oisans, Vaujany, Auris and Villard Reculas) will remain open for all visitors, including all normal activities (ski lifts, slopes, bars, restaurants…), just like all other ski-resorts in France. All our visitors will be contacted personally later today, by e-mail and within the Tomorrowland Account, regarding the next steps. – Tomorrowland Winter

Tomorrowland Winter was set to take place in the wonderful frame of Alpe d’Huez the next weekend (March 14 -21). The festival is now the fourth in order of time to cancel because of the new Coronavirus. With Daydream Festival Japan canceled last week, followed by Ultra Abhu Dabhi, also Ultra Miami 2020 edition seems to be on hold.

At the moment, cases in French are less than 300 but previsions lead to thinking about an increase in the next days.
