It is paramount for the OSHEAGA team to provide a world-class festival experience for all fans, and given the current circumstances, it would not be responsible for the artists, the fans, the partners, and employees to hold the festival this year. The festival is currently working on the 2021 lineup to bring back some of the much-anticipated 2020 acts. More news to come!
This is an unusual situation that is unfortunately beyond our control says Nick Farkas, Senior Vice President, Booking, Concerts and Events at evenko,but as passionate music fans ourselves, we take great pride in curating the festival with the aim of bringing the best local, Canadian and international talent to the most beautiful festival site in the world, and we’ll have some fantastic artists lined up for 2021.
