PANAJI: Sunburn Festival Founder Shailendra Singh today said that the festival will not be held until COVID-19 settles and life becomes normal.
“Today we came to meet minister not for Sunburn but some other work; Until covid subsides, no festival will be held in Goa. Peoples health is very much important to us,” said Singh after meeting Tourism Minister
In this unprecedented time of global pandemic, hosting a live event in which large numbers of India’s youth will congregate is totally unnecessary and unprofessional. In it’s guidelines for ‘Considerations for Events and Gatherings’, the CDC states that the highest risk is found in “Large in-person gatherings where it is difficult for individuals to remain spaced at least 6 feet apart and attendees travel from outside the local area.”
India has the largest population of young people in the world, travelling from all over the country to attend Sunburn, and each and every one of those young lives matter.
Sunburn, and other such live events. Says My heart goes out to all music lovers, Sunburn fans, musicians, DJs, technicians and industry professionals whose livelihoods depend on live events like Sunburn. I beseech you to please be patient. Each life is precious and India cannot afford an outbreak out of a large gathering live event such as Sunburn.
