In light of the recent headaches of holding the Field Day festival in Calverton, NY, the organizers of Bonnaroo have cancelled the inaugural Bonnaroo NE.
During the past few weeks, we have closely watched the developments surrounding the organizational and permitting process for another festival – Field Day – scheduled for the same site on the weekend of June 7-8,” read a statement issued by the Bonnaroo folks. “This process culminated with the denial of Field Day’s permits and the cancellation of the festival at this site only two days before it was scheduled to open.”
Bonnaroo NE organizers assure fans this decision has no impact on the Bonnaroo Music Festival, scheduled for Manchester, Tenn., June 12-15.
