Alright, Flag fam. As you know, we've been feeling pretty bummed due to the ongoing and numerous festival cancellations across the globe, just like many of you. However, this afternoon, reports surfaced that have completely shattered our spirits...
We are an EDM movement based in Montreal. It's no secret that we take pride in supporting locals and go to great lengths to assist parties in ensuring the event's success. We've been closely monitoring the recognized national concerns over the spread of the COVID-19. Devastatingly, one of our main concerns has come to life.
In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, evenko will be suspending all future events for a period of 30 days. The news follows a similar move made by Live Nation Entertainment who plans to pause all tours due to the outbreak.
In December of 2019, Live Nation Entertainment, the largest live entertainment company in the world, and evenko, one of the leading promoters and producers in Canada, announced that they have entered into a partnership agreement. The goal being to strengthen the existing business relationship between the two companies.
