Without a doubt, the Covid-19 pandemic that the whole world has suffered has brought bad news to all of us. Many things have been lost, even the invaluable, such as thousands of human lives. The pandemic has also taken away our freedom, we have been limited to being at home or to interact as little as possible. The repercussions of this led the governments of each place to force the closure of all kinds of massive events, including music and art festivals.
We hope that next year everything will return to normal and we can enjoy everything that we could not in 2020. Here we share a list of 6 massive festivals that will take place in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Without a doubt it is a list to do next year.

Dear Monegrinos:
During the last months we have observed the terrible impact of COVID-19 at a global level.
We apologize for the delay in publishing this statement, we were following the evolution of this pandemic in order to make the decision on the feasibility of the festival on the announced date. Finally, following the measures dictated by the government and with a feeling of responsibility and pain, we have been forced to postpone Monegros Desert Festival until Saturday July 31st, 2021. Although we have to wait another year to dance together in the desert, we believe that the most important thing is to preserve the health of our fans who were going to travel from many places on the planet.
Since the last edition, we have worked tirelessly for six years to design, prepare and produce an event that would exceed all your expectations. We know that all of you were eager to return to the desert because your feedback has been incredible at each stage of this adventure. You have sent us messages full of motivation and support from all corners of the planet. We thank you infinitely for believing in us and we will respond to this challenge as you deserve.
Your energy is our engine to continue working non-stop and to be able to return in 2021 with more strength than ever. We have already started to build the Monegros Desert Festival of 2021 and we assure you that it will be the most epic festival in our history!
On Saturday July 31, 2021 we count on all of you to live together the most incredible experience we have ever seen in the desert.
