Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
From one article: www.yahoo.com/entertainment/woodstock-50-canceled-164315050.html Me, too, but then I saw Pharrell pull off a large in-town festival in a few months that was very successful. So with the right talent and experience, things can be done. Perhaps not a fair comparison in many respects, but part of the "talent and experience" is knowing what is not likely to be accomplished on short notice. The real issue is always in the financing, which can be quite complex. For Woodstock, according to the articles, they didn't meet certain goals by the required times--think about a critical path chart on a construction project--which permitted, or justified, the lenders pulling out.

"Woodstock 50’s biggest hurdle has always been time. Most festivals announce their lineups and start selling tickets months in advance. For example, for Lockn’ Festival, which takes place in Virginia the weekend after Woodstock 50, tickets went on sale in February. While sources tell Variety that Woodstock 50 organizers have registered more than 250,000 potential ticket-buyers — those who have shown interest in the festival since its lineup announcement — that hardly guaranteed an instant sell-out of 75,000."

$150 tickets that went on sale as soon as the event was announced, compared to $500 tickets that never went on sale. I suppose it’s not that surprising that Pharrell understands the current market a little better than Mr. Lang.

But not in a good way.
Hope Pete and Dave don't loan him our rotating stage! We'll never see it again.

Interesting how the "geezers" are relegated to what I assume will be a lesser venue. That and the way they are placed on the billboard shows that the old acts are not a draw as far as ticket sales go. Something to thing about with our speculation.
And not to wish ill on anyone, but I was kinda hoping a cancellation would free up Miley Cyrus for us.

Had I known just how god awful Fyre Fest was going to be, I totally would have gotten a shirt or cap. But ONLY if I had known how bad it was going to turn out.
Now that I think about it, a collection of failed music attempts would be an awesome collection.

She got all excited and was marketing the thing, saying "be sure to keep an eye on this it's going to be great."
How irresponsible of her. I guess Disney is financially invested with one or more of their properties.
