Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

On 26 March 2020, the festival announced a shift towards a scaled-down, more "intimate" event as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but stated they still intend for the event to go ahead in August.[3]

On 30 April 2020, the organisers announced the festival will no longer go ahead in a post titled "We will dance together again".[4]

State of Emergency show

New for 2020 was State of Emergency, a new multi-stage theatrical show as a new catalyst for the festivals storyline. The accouncement described the addition as "set to unfold throughout the duration of the festival, in a full throttle, dazzling display of modern-day circus and mind-bending technologies".[5]

The show was said to feature circus and performance, alongside "boundary-pushing sound design, technology and special effects to create a 360 degree experience", and will be performed across multiple stages and areas over the 5-days.[6]

Site changes

Chapter 12 was slated to see the introduction of a new district Forgotten Valley as a replacement for Whistler's Green. The new district was to encapsulate the Kidztown and Floating Lotus stages, but see the replacement of The Lighthouse stage with a new area known as Ancient Futures.[7]

A huge central beacon for this new area, connecting the great wisdom of the past with the importance of building new & sustainable futures. With inspirational speakers, workshops and artists.[7]
