Belgian Mayors Unwilling to Reverse Permit Rejection for Tomorrowland 2021
Tomorrowland may very well have just been dealt its death blow as far as its prospects for a 2021 edition are concerned. Late last week, news had dropped that the Mayors of Boom and Rumst were not willing to move forward with granting Tomorrowland a critical permit to take place in 2021, citing multiple factors they deem risks to public safety. This rejection at the local level came as somewhat of a surprise given the national government had conditionally green lit the event under a specific series of stipulations. Mayors Jeroen Baert and Jurgen Callaerts then went on to reject the permit request, saying that the federal government’s previously promised event guidelines, which would permit 75,000 person events, have not yet been enacted. They also cite a lack of poli...
