Unfortunately, several international tours will be missed this year due to the coronavirus, that affects the original program of the STRAND Festival as well. Of this year’s performers, SUM 41, Ellie Goulding and Milky Chance have cancelled their entire tour, but it has already been agreed that all of them will make up for the missed concerts at STRAND 2021.

However, we have some good news as well.

Several international performers, including Parov Stelar, Timmy Trumpet, Martin Solveig and Wilkinson have confirmed their arrival in Zamárdi, and today some new names also got on the list.
