Lunchmeat Festival, an annual international festival dedicated to advanced electronic music and new media art based in Prague, is announcing the 3rd and final batch of artists! Among the new names we can find legendary producer Shackleton, who connects bass music with avant-garde and the Amsterdam duo Know V.A., returning to the legacy of hardcore music of the early 90’s. Producers Nkisi and Aqauarian are coming to Lunchmeat as well. Its 11th edition is planned for the end of September and the beginning of October 2020 in various locations in Prague.
“We feel obliged to make this year´s Lunchmeat happen” says Jakub Pešek, head of the festival. “We want to give musicians a chance to play and for people to enjoy something extraordinary. Even with these complicated conditions we have to look for possibilities to create events like this - following all the necessary safety precautions, but not living in fear.”
The organizers count on all of the variations of attendance limits, but even if the limit is lowered, Lunchmeat will happen as planned, according to Pešek. “We want to keep the scene moving and send a message that it is possible to do things” he adds. In accordance with the government’s regulations on banning gatherings after midnight, the start time of the programmes were moved to 6 PM (Thu, Fri), and 4 PM (Sat).

***Important***
According to the newest government measures, indoor events will be able to take place only under the condition that each participant of the event will have a designated place to sit. That means each of you will have a particular seat at all the Lunchmeat Festival 2020 events. When having the seat, the dancing is not prohibited. The venues are large enough to provide comfort and enough space for you to feel safe.
We still see you dancin'
"A place assigned to each of the participants of the event means creating a certain distance among others. However, this does not mean that it is not possible to dance in space. People who have their allocated place can normally move around the space. It will still be possible to organize, for example, balls and other events. However, each participant in such an event will have to have their place to sit," said Professor Roman Chlíbek, head of the Epidemiological Group at the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic in the official press release.
