Gaming festival organizer DreamHack has officially postponed the remainder of its live events planned for 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The goal for all of us at DreamHack is to provide great experiences at our events, which thrive by bringing communities together for these shared and beloved festival weekends all around the globe. We have never had to postpone events like this before—but these are extraordinary times, and the safety of our attendees and staff has never been more important than now,” DreamHack co-CEO Marcus Lindmark said.
Unfortunately we are postponing the remaining 2020 DreamHack festivals.
