When We Were Young Fest canceled before it begins

From Variety: The When We Were Young music festival has cancelled its slate of Saturday performances. The announcement was made at about 10:00 a.m., only one hour before doors were scheduled to open to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds.

Not all festival attendees received the email announcing plans to cancel the day’s events at the same time, with some finding the statement in their inboxes as late as 10:30. Others first learned the news through chatter on social media.

The statement also shares that the festival’s remaining dates, this Sunday (Oct. 23) and next Saturday (Oct. 29) remain on the books and “are moving forward accordingly.” However, the statement does not share any information regarding the possibility for Oct. 22 ticketholders to transfer their purchase to the other two festival dates. Instead, the announcement states that attendees who purchased tickets through the festival’s ticketing company, Front Gate Tickets, will receive a refund within 30 days.
