4. will the Tour Belgique 2025 take place in Cologne?
The event "Le Tour Belgique" will not take place in May 2025 as the City of Cologne has imposed conditions that the organizers consider to be incompatible with the original concept. These conditions concern, among other things, restrictions on the serving of drinks and the approval of concerts. The organizers criticize that these measures would significantly impair the cultural diversity and character of the event.
