KIKK festival 2020 is cancelled

KIKK festival 2020 is cancelled

It is with great sadness that we write to announce our decision to cancel this edition of KIKK festival 2020. We really wanted to believe in it, we worked like crazy until the last minute to try to deliver a festival with all the security measures in mind. But with the new government measures that have just been announced, we see ourselves in the definitive impossibility of organising the festival as we had planned.
