Creativeman announced that Supersonic 2020 will be rescheduled for 2021 due to persistent considerations related to COVID-19.
The music festival was scheduled to take place from September 19 to 21 in Chiba prefecture and Osaka to reposition Summer Sonic, who took a year off to avoid a clash with the now postponed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Supersonic’s programming included foreign artists such as Liam Gallagher, Skrillex and Black Eyed Peas, as well as national artists who added Asian Kung-Fu Generation and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.
In a message shared on the Supersonic 2020 website, Creativeman CEO Naoki Shimizu said the company had tried to celebrate the occasion as planned, but that “considerations and fears were developing about travel that caught my eye through foreign artists. to attend the price ticket holders’ festival. I made the decision to draw the line here. We’re giving up our war against coronavirus.
A general announcement on the same page referred to the existing border restrictions in Japan and the spikes in COVID-19 cases, explaining why the festival had been postponed.
Supersonic is Japan’s newest large-scale music festival to be postponed or cancelled due to the global pandemic. Earlier this summer, the Fuji Rock Festival in Niigata Prefecture announced plans to postpone its occasion until 2021. Rock In Japan and Rising Sun Rock Festival in Ibaraki and Hokkaido have also not held their annual events this year.
Before today’s announcement, Creativeman took steps toward making Supersonic as safe as possible. The company organized an online crowdfunding campaign to help protect the gathering from the novel coronavirus. In its online statement, Creativeman said the ¥21 million raised toward this effort will be used for future shows and Supersonic 2021.
The national live music industry has been affected through COVID-19, with top festivals and primary concerts cancelled or postponed since the end of February. In recent weeks, however, smaller screens have been installed throughout the country. Last weekend, a two-day concert at Osaka-Jo Hall called Osaka Music Days !!!, attracted 5,000 spectators on Saturday and 4,000 on Sunday.
At the end of this month, Osaka will host Rush Ball 2020, a festival with 20 national events for two days.
