Light at the End of the Tunnel: 15 EDM Shows to Look Forward to in 2021

Many shows are declared for 2021, which is starting to look as the promised land.

2020 continues to be –for lack of a better word –a dumpster fire. It’s been a miserable season, marred by an unrelenting virus that continues to suck the spirit out of the live music scene such as a Dementor.

But, myriad concerts and festivals have been declared for 2021, serving as a light in the end of a tube that appeared bleakly boundless following the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. While these shows are not set in stone because of the uncertainty of the virus’ impact and the mercurial safety ordinances instated by the government, fans can certainly hold out hope.

Here are 15 EDM shows to look forward to in 2021, courtesy of the EDM.com staff.
