We are only one month into 2021, but festival and concert cancelations are already starting to pour in. However, Slam Dunk Festival is holding onto hope that its 2021 event will still happen at some point this year.
This week, the U.K.-based festival offered an update on the status of its 2021 plans and when ticketholders will most likely know if the festival has been canceled for another year or possibly moved to a later date.
Despite the cancelations that are already happening around the world, Slam Dunk 2021 hasn’t made a decision yet. On Feb. 4, the festival offered an update on the status of its May event. Although organizers say “things aren’t looking great,” they are waiting to hear more from the U.K. government before making any decisions.
“We are aware that things aren’t looking great for festivals at the end of May,” the update says. “Currently, we are waiting for more government guidance on when events can return and when we know that we will take the action required. We believe this will be by the end of this month.”
Slam Dunk does not want to go another year without its festival. With that said, organizers are looking into the possibility of moving the festival to a later date this year.
“Back up plans are of course being made and the bands are being consulted with. If we have to move it later in the year, we will, but we are absolutely determined to not let you go another year without a festival. Please bear with us and we thank you for your patience.”
We are very pleased to confirm the final list of artists who were due to play SDF20 and who are able to come back to play SDF21 for you. As the vast majority have kept hold of your tickets for next year it seemed only right to try to bring back as many SDF20 artists as we could.. pic.twitter.com/YZS2Ea5yLD
