The BPM Festival Postpones Edition in Costa Rica

The BPM Festival Costa Rica will not move forward this year after the government enacted new COVID-19 restrictions that banned mass events.

The new year has brought forth a flurry of festival announcements, but the pandemic continues to be a foe of festival organizers around the globe. This past week saw the cancelation of Departure Festival in Mexico, and today has brought more bad news for house and techno lovers looking to bask in warmer temperatures as The BPM Festival Costa Rica has also been forced to postpone its edition this year.

Originally set to take place on January 12-18 in Tamarindo, The BPM Festival Costa Rica boasted of a lineup featuring some of the best names in the house and techno scene today. Unfortunately, rising concerns surrounding COVID-19 in the region were addressed by the Costa Rican President, who enacted new restrictions on the country that included a ban on mass gatherings from January 11-23. With dates that landed right in the middle of that time period, the festival’s organizers had no other options but to look towards 2023 for their return.

After more than a year of planning and looking forward to welcoming you to our 15th anniversary edition, we sympathize with your sense of disappointment and frustration and are beyond heartbroken to share this news with you.
