One of the biggest events of the summer in Saskatchewan, Country Thunder in Craven, has been cancelled for 2020 due to COVID-19.
The event had been scheduled for July 9-12 and was set to include performers such as Kane Brown, Luke Combs and Clint Black. But on their website, they state say that after consultations with government officials and continued monitoring of the COVID-19 situation, the event cannot be held safely at this time.
Now, the plan is to hold the event in 2021 and to make it even bigger and better, according to event officials.
“I think it’s going to be even more special,” says Country Thunder Saskatchewan CEO and Regina native, Troy Vollhoffer, in a statement. “This is where we come from and this is where it all started.
“We want to thank all the fans in Saskatchewan for their patience, loyalty and enthusiasm as we navigated details for next summer. We look forward to delivering the kind of world-class experience that the greatest country music fans anywhere have come to expect.”
2020 ticket holders are being informed that all ticketing options will be automatically honoured for the rescheduled 2021 dates, and that fans do not have to do a thing. According to their news release, ticket holders will receive more information in the coming days, with officials saying that information and details on the 2021 lineup are coming out on June 12.
