The BPM Festival has issued a statement on Facebook stating that its events in Brazil are postponed “until further notice”. You can see the full statement below.

The planned event in Portugal in September is still said to be going ahead.

The BPM Festival was set to celebrate its 10th anniversary at its Brazilian event between Friday 28th April and Monday 1st May, in the beach resort towns of Itajaí and Balneário Camboriú.

DJs, promoters and organisers have responded to The BPM Festival shootings, that left four dead and 12 injured when a gunman opened fire at elrow's BPM closing party in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, earlier today.

Condolences have poured in from all corners of the dance community, read reactions from The Black Madonna, Sonny Fodera, Gorgon City, Monki, Adam Beyer and more below.  

The BPM Festival will finally make its long-awaited move overseas in 2017, launching new editions in Brazil and Portugal.

Now 10 years old, the event has become one of the highlights of the Mexican festival calendar (and the world's for that matter), bringing the very best in house and techno to Playa del Carmen each January.

With the main 2017 event now underway, BPM directors Alessandra Axelsson, Craig Pettigrew and Phillip Anthony Pulitano have posted a video announcing their additional plans for the year.

Tale Of Us are bringing Afterlife to Mexico for the very first time on Monday, 9th January at Cenote Zamna Tulum Jungle Club & Cabanas.

The event will be spread across two stages showcasing Tale Of Us, Acid Pauli, Gerd Janson, Kettenkarussell, Mind Against, Recondite and more.

Afterlife made its debut in Barcelona for Off Sonar in 2016, before moving on to Ibiza for a 13-week residency at Space during the club’s closing year.

Diplo has announced the first ever Mad Decent Beach Party will take place in Riviera Maya, Mexico from 16th-19th February 2017.

Taking over the Barceló Maya Beach Resort on the country's stunning Caribbean coast, the event will offer four days of sun, sea, sand and, of course, the chance to hear some of the world's top dance acts.
