Music lovers have been left disappointed after a huge festival was cancelled with a brief message on the organisers website letting fans know just weeks before they were due to attend
A major music festival has been cancelled with attendees being informed by a message on its website. SoundSide Music Festival was due to take place between September 27 and 28 at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Confirmed acts at the event included headliners The Killers, Weezer, Hozier and Vampire Weekend. However, the two-day musical gathering has now been axed entirely with no reason given to fans.
A message on the website states, “Due to circumstances beyond our control, Soundside Music Festival has been cancelled. Tickets will be refunded to the original method of payment in as little as 30 days depending on your bank’s processing time.”
Other expected acts on the line-up at the festival included Djo, Japanese Breakfast, the Backseat Lovers, Remi Wolf, Alex Warren and the Last Dinner Party. Disappointed ticket holders were just weeks away from attending and have not had any further information provided to them.
Fans took to X to complain as one angry fan typed: “wdym soundside music festival was canceled…” Another added: “so soundside music fest was cancelled and their insta page has been deleted… what the f**k actually”. And a third said: “soundside got cancelled and i was supposed to see djo at it im devastated and it was my home show the festival is so close to my house”.
The news comes just one year on from fans being left upset when the Foo Fighters cancelled their planned performance at the festival in 2024. The band gave just a few days notice for the cancellation after it was revealed that frontman Dave Grohl had become a dad again – but had welcomed the new baby outside of his marriage.
The new arrivals caused quite a scandal leading to the band sharing a short message with fans on Instagram to confirm their change of plans around the news.
The statement said, “FOO FIGHTERS WILL NO LONGER BE APPEARING AT THIS WEEKEND’S SOUNDSIDE MUSIC FESTIVAL. PLEASE CHECK THE FESTIVAL WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION (sic)”.
While the Foo Fighters didn’t specify the actual reason behind the cancellation of their planned appearance at the festival, the timing was indicative of the rocker’s personal issues causing a clash in their schedule.
The announcement was made just weeks after Dave confirmed that he had fathered the child outside of his marriage to Jordyn Blum.
Dave, 56, vowed at the time that he would “regain” the trust of his family after sharing the shock news with the world via his social media.
Dave – who has been married to Jordyn since 2003 – wrote on Instagram at the time, “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.
“I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”
