Speaking to RA, promoter Benjamin Belaga said: "In March 2020, our biggest event was supposed to take place, featuring our entire Yoyaku roster as well as Ricardo Villalobos. It was one of the first events in Europe to be rescheduled because of the pandemic. We have since then been searching for an outdoor venue, to reschedule this party. By chance, this wasteland in Saint-Denis, bordering Paris, was suited to hold musical events. We have the chance to take it over for the upcoming months, and we plan to make the most out of it!"
