    • Hello Anthony! Tapaies is going to happen for sure,its been a tradition for several years now. But, we will have to wait a little bit closer to the date (October) for route details, dates and times! Unfortunately thats how things work over here, a little bit slower ;). Keep an eye on their website (link below) and you’ll be the first to know when they’ve announced Tapapies 2016 details!
