Got a nice e-mail today letting me know that the inaugural Music To Know Festival was cancelled. Very bummed out as I was looking forward to it. However, I can’t say I’m surprised that they were struggling to sell tickets. Not many could afford the lofty asking price ($200) for a two day fest with a stricter lineup than what the other festivals were offering.
I was going to be covering the festival thanks to this blog, but I don’t think I would have been able to afford it if I didn’t get invited to cover the show. So I’m sure a lot of people were in the same boat.
New York really needs to find a way to bring a big festival here and make it work. I’m sad that things didn’t work out for all involved. Hopefully they have better luck next time.
