baseballhotdog Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 So, apparently the Langerado festival in south FL has been cancelled. http://www.langerado.com/land.php Many of the same bands are scheduled to play Harvest Of Hope. I'm curious to see if bands that were scheduled to play Langerado will not even come down to Fl at all. Maybe those that are not playing HOH will play there now. I'm sure this will cause headaches all around for those bands involved.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseballhotdog Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 more info: LANGERADO 2009 CANCELLED Today, the 2009 Langerado Music Festival is cancelled due to sluggish ticket sales. The 7th annual event was slated to happen March 6-8 at their new home in downtown Miami's Bicentennial Park. Langerado's independent local promoters, faced with a very tough decision in a dismal economy, cancelled the 2009 event only after every possible option was exhausted. As Langerado Co-Promoter Ethan Schwartz explains, "Langerado has always put the fan experience first. Unfortunately, during these difficult economic times, and facing a first year in a new venue, it's become apparent that we cannot execute a production that lives up to the high standards of our past events. Putting Langerado on hold was the toughest decision we have ever had to make. We are very grateful for the support of the greater-Miami community and the music community during this difficult time." All tickets purchased will be refunded. Please look for ticket refunds to be processed in the next 5-7 business days. Each order will be refunded to the credit card in full, minus the included order processing fees. Shipping fees will also be credited for those orders that did not select the free shipping promotion.

jhulud Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Not surprised. With the way things are, this was a very ambitious thing to do. Especially moving it to downtown Miami @ Bicentennial Park which suuuuuuuucks. Previous years it was at the Seminole Preserve by the Everglades where it was cheaper to have it and everything was more spread-out as far as the campgrounds and stages. So you could actually not feel like a can of sardines in the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baseballhotdog Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Word is that some bands that are supposed to play HOH have already canceled because they are no longer getting flown into to FL for Langerado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjustinxschwierx Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 how big was this fest? I've never even heard of it before this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotterson Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 its pretty big. it started out as more of a jam band kinda fest in the swampy area of florida, with string cheese kinda bands. recently they have started going more 'indie' i guess. this year was pretty ambitious, as juan mentioned, with some pretty big bands. here is the most recent update before they canceled http://clicks1.musictoday.com/cts/click?q=1;106079;QrsudFL4iLp%2Bz1eZwlqibQ%3D%3D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
