Punk Rock Holiday und Brakrock 2020 ebenfalls auf der Kippe

Von

22. April 2020

All das Hoffen und die Stoßgebete zum Punkrock-Gott scheinen nichts genützt zu haben, denn nun wird wohl auch das Punk Rock Holiday und das Partnerfestival Brakrock dem Coronavirus zum Opfer fallen. So mussten wir nun folgende Posts auf ihrer Facebook-Seite lesen:

Message vom Punk Rock Holiday

Dear PRH family,
First of all, thank you so much for your patience and support in these terrible times. We know you all want answers as much as we do.

As it looks like, the corona virus stabbed us in the back badly and will continue to keep away our much expected reunion in Tolmin this August 🙁

We were semi optimistic about the August run of festivals until last week, when the ban on major events in Germany shuffled the cards in a pretty bad way and forced most of the bands to cancel their tours in august 2020. Many of you also exposed the problem of not being able to travel from distant countries… We’re talking to other festivals in August and bands and trying to make the right decisions. So far all bands and festivals agree that the most rational option is to mirror everything to 2021. That would mean same dates and as much as possible the same lineup in 2021, with tickets from 2020 valid for 2021 edition. Like 2020 would not exist.

Please bare with us for a few more days, when we can make it official.
Keep the PMA

Message vom Brakrock

Dear friends. It’s with heavy heart that we need to inform you that we are THINKING to postpone Brakrock 2020 in its current form due to the impacts of COVID – 19. We were still hoping for the best, but it seems that the Corona virus will extend its stay in Belgium and will probably join us this Summer.

As a result we cannot guarantee the safety of our beloved punk rock family. I think we all sorta knew this was coming unfortunately. Another sign on the wall is that many bands need to change their summer plans too because of the pandemic situation worldwide.

Friendly reminder that Brakrock is a DIY music festival set up by people who are doing this straight out of their hearts for this beautiful scene. This pandemic has already knocked us down pretty hard, but we’ll get through this together. Because in the scene together is all we know.

We’re talking with other festivals and bands right now to mirror the Brakrock 2020 line up and bring it to the same date in 2021. (5-7 August, 2021 / yes + a fest open air pre show) All of your festival tickets will remain valid in this case and we are anticipating that most of the bands currently set to play will be there, although some bands could be subject to change.

btw: there’s also good news coming your way

Auch wenn zuletzt die Hoffnungen noch einmal dadurch gestärkt wurden, dass sie ihre Running-Order bekanntgegeben hatten, müssen wir uns wohl nun darauf einstellen, diesen Sommer weder in Tolmin noch in Duffel feinsten Punkrock-Klängen zu lauschen.

Und das wäre ihr Preis gewesen…
