The Places _ Virtual Reality Festival takes place from 20 – 22.08.2020 and will not be postponed again. Together with the responsible persons of the city of Gelsenkirchen we will observe the further development of the pandemic. If the development continues to be positive, as many programme items as possible should take place on site in Gelsenkirchen. It is certain that there will not be any stage and programme points where larger groups would come together at one location as planned. To compensate for this, attractive digital formats will be used.
In the current situation there is no 100% certainty. We would like to thank all the partners who have joined us in planning the uncertainty. The almost exclusively positive feedback is encouraging. We make our Corona timetable transparent on this page and update it continuously. We have drawn up Plan A (green) and Plan B for almost all programme items. You can be sure that we check the status daily.
