FROM SUMMER BREEZE 2020 OPEN AIR:

 
Cancellation SUMMER BREEZE Open Air 2020

It hurts, but now we also have certainty on the bureaucratic level: the SUMMER BREEZE Open Air 2020 cannot take place. Of course, like her, we have already assumed the need to cancel and to be quiet the last few days and wait, it was incredibly difficult for us, but an earlier official statement was not possible for legal reasons before we have all the necessary information. After yesterday's press conference with the Bavarian Minister of State for Science and Arts, Bernd Sibler and Prime Minister Markus Söder, we can pass this certainty to you today.

The cancellation of our festival is tragic and sad for us, but we trust 100 % in the assessment and decision of the authorities and experts. Because even if months of work is in everything we put on our feet together in Dinkelsbühl every year, everyone's health is now the first priority.

Ticket buyers will receive an email by the end of May with all further information and options regarding their tickets purchased for 2020 As already announced, we will not apply the voucher solution decided yesterday in the Bundestag.

First and foremost we want to offer you, the fans, a festival experience as you know from us: Full of bands you love, unforgettable shows, being together with old and new friends. The whole thing so carefree that you don't notice safety measures and all organizational switching and walking in the background.

We have considered a deadline postponement in the meantime, but have concluded that a huge heavy metal party with over 40.000 fans this year would not be feasible and would not be responsible.

We will now set all the course on the SUMMER BREEZE Open Air 2021, which will take place from 18.- 21.08.2021 and are already looking forward to the first cars that roll on the field next year!

In order to overcome the enormous task, we hope for your incredible patience and support we have experienced in the last few days. We see SUMMER BREEZE as our all festival. By that, we mean fans, whether they act in front or backstage. We mean every single band, every crew member, from the cleaning squad to instruction to secu, chef or shuttle driver. We are in this together and we will make sure we can celebrate many more years of SUMER BREEZE in Dinkelsbühl. Together with you, and you with us!

We are looking forward to presenting you alternative event concepts and special new merch very soon. Stay healthy, recharge your batteries for the festival season 2021 and thank you very much for your understanding!
