The festival announced the first names today in place of what would've been the first day of Best Kept Secret's 2020 edition.
All tickets purchased for this year's event will be valid in 2021. More tickets will go on sale tomorrow (13 June) from 10am CET.
Festival director Maurits Westerik says, "The fact that this many artists, both upcoming and established, decided to join forces with us again to experience Best Kept Secret live together one year later, gives us the hope and courage to carry on. It is clear that music is the common denominator for many, that in these times we long for live music and that we prefer to share it together. We still have a year to go before that happens, but we look forward to a wonderful festival. It will do us all good."
