Music On Festival in Meerpark cancelled this weekend

Despite discussions about additional measures to improve visitor safety, the environmental authority has maintained its negative advice concerning the tent on the site. Such a negative recommendation cannot be ignored in the interest of public safety. The municipality therefore sees no possibility of allowing the event to go ahead.

Very disappointing

This last-minute cancellation is, of course, a major disappointment for both visitors and the organisers. We fully understand that frustration, but the safety of the public and staff comes first. We take a negative recommendation from experts very seriously.

Do not come to Meerpark

The site at Meerpark is closed and the programme has been fully cancelled. We ask visitors not to travel to the location.

Information for visitors

The organisation of Music On Festival will handle further communication regarding tickets. Visitors are advised to keep an eye on the festival's official website, Instagram, and other social media channels for the latest updates.
