No cancellation, but a postponement.
The Ile-de-France festival We Love Green, which was to be held in early June in the Bois de Vincennes, has been postponed to the weekend of September 10 to 12 due to the "health context", the organizers said on Monday.
"The idea of a seated festival in June is not possible," they write in a statement.
We Love Green, a contemporary music festival concerned with the environment, had gathered 80,000 spectators in 2019. It was canceled in 2020.

The "format and programming will be confirmed according to the evolution of the schedule of reopening and the modalities of the health pass", continue the organizers.
Tickets purchased for June 2020 or June 2021 will be valid for September 2021. Otherwise, there is the possibility of exchanging for the 2022 edition or requesting a refund.
