We are saddened to conclude that no exchanges can take place in 2020 due to COVID-19. It is too risky to travel and, in addition, many partners decide - completely understandably - to cancel their festival this year. We have therefore decided to automatically re-select the bulk of the selected Excite acts in 2021. Hopefully we can then offer them opportunities to play across the border again.

We wish all the artists and organizers in our network a lot of strength and good health.
