The Days Of Summer 2020 cruise has officially been canceled in wake of the growing Coronavirus pandemic. The cruise ship festival was expected to launch in Miami on July 1st. As health officials continue to share updates surrounding Coronavirus, the festival announced that they will be putting the safety of guests, staff, and artists.

After careful consideration of the health risks posed by the spread of the COVID-19 virus, Days Of Summer announces that its third annual hip-hop cruise and music festival, scheduled to embark from Miami on July 1st, 2020, will no longer occur. The Days of Summer Cruise Fest prioritizes the safety of its passengers and with the rapidly-developing situation surrounding the virus, the fest has determined that appropriate course of action is to preventatively cancel the event.

More and more concerts and festivals have been forced to announce there cancelation. Coachella revealed that the COVID-19 has made them push the festival back to October 2020. SXSW, on the other hand, has canceled its annual festival and conference altogether and won't be giving out refunds for tickets. Additionally, the Ultra Music Festival in Miami has also announced that they'd be canceling the festivals with no refunds being offered to ticket buyers.

The Coronavirus pandemic has not only prevented festivals from moving forward but tours as well. YBN Cordae announced earlier today that has postponed the remainder for the European tour dates in wake of the scare. "Europe ! Man this kills me. Unfortunately due to the travel ban, I have to go back home to the States, and PostPone the European Tour. Later dates will be provided. can't wait to give y'all this live experience," he wrote on Twitter.

As festival organizers unveil the line-ups for summer festivals, there seems to be a pattern of booking Kendrick Lamar. Not that we’re complaining but the fact that he’s planning to hit the festival circuit heavily this summer can be a good indication that the long-awaited follow-up to DAMN. will officially arrive this year. 

The latest festival to get the Compton-bred MC to the table in Montreal’s Osheaga. As one of the biggest festivals in Canada, they’ve enlisted Kendrick Lamar as the headliner on the final night on Sunday, August 2nd. Along with Kenny, Foo Fighters and Lizzo will also headline the three-day music festival on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

The festival will include performances from PartyNextDoor (album on the way?), Lil Tecca, Saint JHN, French Montana, EarthGang, Dave, Dominic Fike, Shoreline Mafia, and more are set to touch the stage across the three-day festival.

As we await Kendrick’s new album, rumors surrounding the project have been running rampant in recent times. Although nothing’s been confirmed, music industry insider Bill Werde said that Kendrick Lamar was done recording the project and that it had a ton of rock influence on it. Hopefully, we see it at some point this spring or summer but either way, we’re extremely excited to hear some new music from Kendrick Lamar.

Peep the line-up below.
