Austin 360
But Austin promoter RealMusic Events is gambling on a brighter situation by late spring. Earlier this month, the company announced plans for a three-day dance music event to take place May 21-24 in Southeast Austin.
According to a news release about the event, the company has been keeping an optimistic eye on the future while also diligently working with officials and safety teams on their event protocols. The event will be primarily outdoors, a representative said.
The festival website describes the location as more than 7 acres of land with a pod/section-based format at each stage. The address provided tracks to Planeta nightclub on Burleson Road. According to the website, attendance will be capped at 2,500.

So what, exactly, are we in for in 2021? Think ahead to, say, the fall, and imagine heading back to the office. The morning train feels a little crowded for comfort but the sidewalks lack their old bustle, and your favorite lunch spot is long gone.
What a year it has been. A year in which we had to stay indoors, wear a mask when we were out and to keep apart from others – and a year in which we were prevented from hugging our elderly relatives at a time they needed our comfort the most. 2020 saw a massive upheaval to our daily lives as the coronavirus swept the country claiming so many lives and threatening the vulnerable, and forcing the Government to lock us down and restrict our movements. Businesses have struggled or gone to the wall as the shutters came down; we have been prevented from having a pint in a pub with friends, browsing for goods in a shop, watching a play, going to the gym or worshipping in church. We have learnt to meet, to be entertained, virtually, although we know it’s just not the same.
