They promise that when we were young attendees are okay.
The When We Were Young music festival was canceled due to high winds. Variety reported that some people found out about the cancellation at 10:30 a.m., when doors were supposed to open half an hour later.
The last two dates of the festival are moving forward. The festival didn't offer attendees the option to transfer their tickets to one of the other two dates, so ticket holders who purchased through the festival's ticketing service will get a refund within 30 days.
The When We Were Young Festival grounds have been prepared for a windy Saturday. According to the festival's statement, the National Weather Service has upgraded their Saturday forecast to a high wind warning. The National Weather Service and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department advised us to cancel the festival. Our priority is the safety of our fans, artists and staff.
