Wow didn’t see this one coming. This was one of the festivals I was impressed with the most as far as lineup is concerned. The Pogues were set to headline one of the days. Other bands set to play included Death Cab for Cutie, Snoop Dogg, Public Enemy, Modest Mouse, Deerhunter, Broken Social Scene, Ryan Adams and the Cardinals, Bad Brains, George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic, Tokyo Police Club, the Faint, Tricky, King Khan and the Shrines, Ra Ra Riot, DeVotchKa, Against Me!, Black Kids, Holy Fuck, the Gaslight Anthem, Cold War Kids, and Thievery Corporation.
That sucks for anyone who wanted to go to this.
The official website had this to say:
The 2009 Langerado Music Festival has been cancelled due to sluggish ticket sales.
Langerado s independent local promoters, faced with a very tough decision in a dismal economy, cancelled the 2009 event only after every possible option was exhausted.
As Langerado Co-Promoter Ethan Schwartz explains, Langerado has always put the fan experience first. 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.
