Dancefestopia may very well have cornered the deflated music festival market by being the only major music event set to actually take place in 2020. Organizers of the electronic music festival posted to its Facebook on Thursday that the weekend event has been approved to go on as scheduled during the weekend of September 10th-13th.
The four-day music and camping festival in Lacygne, MO–roughly 45 minutes south of Kansas City–is set to feature headlining performances from GRiZ, Zed’s Dead, and Rezz, in addition to a host of other electronic acts across multiple genres. Dancefestopia’s announcement comes as festivals that were pushed back to the fall months begin to announce cancellations.

In the announcement, Dancefestopia organizers stated that they had been given approval by Missouri state officials along ith Miami County to hold the event. The post was also somewhat realistic in stating that, while the festival has been approved for the moment, that it could all change very quickly.
Organizers also reiterated the “DFT ticket promise” they had instituted when the event originally went on sale back in March, which states if the event is rescheduled to a later date or postponed to 2021, ticket holders can choose to hold their 2020 tickets for 2021. Those who keep their tickets in the case the event is postponed will receive exclusive merchandise for that decision. The other option for ticketholders is to receive a full refund for their 2020 purchase. The Dancefestopia website states, however, that refunds will not be made available “until an official announcement has been made to postpone or cancel DFT 2020.”
In the comment section of the post, DFT organizers stated that additional precautions for the festival will be announced closer to the event. Stay tuned to the Dancefestopia website for any announcements.
