Ticket Sales Sink Langerado


The seventh annual event, which was slated to take place March 6-8 in Miami’s Bicentennial Park, has been canceled. Death Cab For Cutie, Modest Mouse, Slightly Stoopid, Snoop Dogg and The Pogues were among the bands and artists scheduled to appear at the festival.

Festival co-promoter Ethan Schwartz said slow ticket sales presented organizers with a difficult choice.

“Langerado has always put the fan experience first,” Schwartz explained. “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 in the next 5-7 business days. Orders will be refunded in full, minus order processing fees. Shipping fees will also be credited for those who did not select free shipping.

    If they had PJ and a few other good bands for this festival they would have had no problem selling out... 8-)
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    Last years line-up blew the socks off 2009. Plus they moved it to downtown Miami. This used to be a camping and party festival. it just doesnt have that feel anymore with no camping this year. Hopefully they'll just get a better location and a few more cool bands if they try again.
