The Dutch government have just announced in a press conference that all events and gatherings are still forbidden this summer, until September 1.

This unfortunately means that Luminosity won’t be able to host this year’s festival in Zandvoort or the after party in Club Panama, Amsterdam.

Everybody is absolutely gutted to bring this news, everybody was really looking forward to party together on the beach! At this time, this decision from the Dutch government is completely understandable and with so many visitors from all around the world, everyone’s health and safety is the main priority.

The good news: Luminosity has already been able to secure a date for next year. Luminosity Beach Festival 2021 will be held from Thursday June 24 till Sunday June 27 in Zandvoort.

All current tickets for the 2020 Festival and the 2020 After Party will remain valid for the re-scheduled event in June 2021. In the case you aren’t able to attend next year, Luminosity will offer you a full refund. Please note that their ticket partner is currently working on a special refund platorm, which will go live on May 5, they will be able to process refunds after this date. So please have some patience and understanding. Once the platform goes live, Luminosity will make sure to inform you.

If you need a refund they can also do that, however, please consider the following;
Our industry relies on events going ahead – this is a difficult time for the dance industry across the world as events has to be cancelled to protect the public. In these extraordinary circumstances, we are asking those who can afford it, to hold on to their ticket for the rescheduled events and not request a refund for cancelled/postponed events. In doing so, you are supporting event organizers so they are able to still cover the costs which have already been spent in setting up the event, which will help keep our scene afloat for when the pandemic ends. We realise in these difficult times this won’t be possible for everyone.

We do understand that many of you have a lot of questions. On the Luminosity website they made a special FAQ section where you can find all information and details about refunds and answers to other questions. If you still have other questions regarding this, kindly get in touch with them via email. Luminosity will try to answer you as soon as possible, but are asking for your patience and understanding in these difficult times. Please follow your governments advice and stay at home as much as possible. The quicker we stop the spread, the sooner we get our nightlife back.

Stay safe, take care of each other and hopefully see you soon!
