After a dubious back-and-forth between members of the EPIZODE team, the fifth edition of the festival was slated to go on in December 2020. Three months later the global COVID-19 situation has yet to stabilize, however, prompting organizers to postpone EPIZODE5: EPILOGUE to December 29th, 2021-January 9th, 2022.
“After careful consideration of all global factors, we have made a difficult decision to reschedule EPIZODE5 to 2021,” reads a statement from the promoter. “We got the official license from the Vietnam authorities to hold EPIZODE this year and with the health and safety as a top priority, we were ready to implement all official guidelines and recommendations.”
“Unfortunately, as the travel tendencies in Vietnam and the rest of the world are still unstable, and the borders opening and arrival conditions are uncertain, we decided to move our fifth anniversary while retaining the lineup,” it goes on. “We’ll be announcing the next round of lineup, and much more activities soon. We’re looking forward to welcoming back all our guests from 90 countries, to celebrate with us in style”
According to a press release, all artists billed for EPIZODE5 will remain on the lineup. In August, organizers shared a phase 2 lineup announcement that included such artists as Richy Ahmed, Archie Hamilton and Mr. C to accompany the already billed Goldie, Loco Dice and Dubfire, among others.
Ticket holders are given the option to receive a full refund less a 5% transaction fee anytime before the new festival dates. Those who retain their tickets will be given a free multi pass on top of regular admission.
