Tomorrowland 2021 Green-Lit By Belgian Government—But Questions Still Remain

The conditions surrounding this announcement are where numerous questions arise for prospective attendees. In mid-May, Minister of Health and Social Affairs Frank Vandenbroucke made public stipulations indicating what he deems it would take in order for the country to safely host large-scale events. 

One condition is the need for festival-goers to provide proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID test. Additionally, the scale at which the festival is able to operate, Vandenbroucke said, is incumbent upon organizers' ability to conduct testing of all attendees on the premises each day of any given event. 

While the ability to conduct testing at scale poses a bottleneck on its own, it is exacerbated by the fact that only European Union citizens and tourists from "countries that have the coronavirus under control" may be able to attend.

Such limitations, if implemented, could certainly curtail the scale and experience of one of dance music's most illustrious annual gatherings, leaving numerous questions as to what Tomorrowland 2021 will actually look like.
