The Netherlands plans to host pilot events in January 2021

The Netherlands government approved a concert, a dance event and two open-air festivals this winter, to start returning to live events during the pandemic. 

The country came to this decision seriously.

The analysis was made carefully with the advice of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment.

The first step is to host some pilot shows and now have the green light.

Test events are: a concert and a dance event at Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, two open-air festivals at the Lowlands, a cabaret performance at the Beatrix Theater in Utrecht, a business conference at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht and football matches with 1,500 supporters at NEC and Almere City FC.
