Well, so much for the Phish vs. Langerado vote. There is no Langerado. As soon as the line-up was announced, I knew they were in trouble. They didn’t have the headliners and now they’re not going to have a festival at all. 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.
When it came down to it Langerado just didn’t have the line-up to bring in the fans. When the line-up first out I said: “You can’t go from R.E.M. The Beastie Boys and Phil Lesh and Friends to Death Cab, Theivery Corporation and Slightly Stoopid? They better have an ace in the hole (or four) that they’re revealing later.”
They didn’t have an ace in the hole and now they’ve got nothing. Looks like even more people will be trying to get to Hampton for Phish.
