You could imagine but it is now official: there will be no Rock Route this year, while the Saint-Malo festival was to celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. The organizers have announced that the 2020 edition, originally scheduled from August 19 to 22, has been postponed to 2021.
“The health crisis that we are going through forces us to surrender in our turn (…). Apart from all regulatory and economic considerations, it was unthinkable anyway to put a single festival-goer in danger, "announced the organizing association, Rock Tympans.
More than 20,000 festival-goers each year
Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced Tuesday the ban on all events of more than 5,000 participants until September, doubting the hopes of the Breton festival, which records the participation of more than 20,000 festival-goers each year.
"We will do everything to reprogram the artists planned for this year, so that it is only part of the delivery," said the organizers. Festival-goers who have already taken their ticket may be reimbursed or not request reimbursement if they wish to support the festival. The Route du Rock was to welcome this year the German group pioneer of electro Kraftwerk.
