Cousins! This year’s highly anticipated ‘Lovers & Friends music festival, in Las Vegas, has caused major chaos online after issuing a cancellation notice less than 24 hours before their opening act!
According to a statement issued on their official website, the festival has cited severe weather conditions as their reason for cancellation. “Saturday’s Lovers & Friends Festival at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds has been canceled.”
“Lovers & Friends Festival organizers have been monitoring the weather for several days and proactively preparing for a windy Saturday,’ reads the issued statement.
“However, the National Weather Service has now issued a High Wind Warning, including dangerous 30-35 mph sustained winds with gusts potentially more than 60 mph.
“Following advice from the National Weather Service and in consultation with local public officials, we must make the safest decision for our fans, artists, and staff, and cancel tomorrow’s Lovers & Friends Festival.
Numerous beloved artists such as Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys, Tank, Usher, Mary J. Blige, TLC, Ne-yo, Nas, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Akon, Timbaland, T-Pain, Monica, Kelly Rowland, Keyshia Cole, Jodeci, Jeezy, SWV, Xscape and many more were scheduled to hit the stage.
“This was an incredibly heartbreaking decision to make as we are aware that fans have traveled from all over the world to enjoy this incredible lineup of superstars and have been looking forward to this event for several months. We’ve worked hard to create an amazing event for you, and we are just as disappointed as you are.”
It has been noted that, “Ticket holders who purchased their tickets directly through Front Gate Tickets will receive a refund within 30 days to the original form of payment.”
Following news of the cancelation online users took to social media to drag the festival.
As we previously reported there has been major scrutiny surrounding the festival’s 2024 rollout. Just a few months ago, singers Monica, Mary J. Blige, The Dream, and more took to social media with concerns that they had been mentioned as featured acts but hadn’t been properly booked.
The one-day festival has gained major popularity since its 2022 launch as the star-studded program provides attendees with nostalgic moments in music from the 90s through the 2000s.
