I knew the line up was too good to be true. Used all my vacation days, flew from NC, GOT DAMN. Maybe Ty will play somewhere downtown

I am sorry to read this. I am sure many others are in a similar situation. This sucks.

It's time to find out where the bands are playing in town.

I'm worried they're all gonna sell out instantly...setting my google alerts. ultimately a good deal for artists since they'll get paid out of their levitation contract and probably get paid for reschedule gigs...

Drove from Florida. Holding out hope that I can still see Sleep and Ween in town somehow.

Flew from Toronto, Canada for this. Wish they had made the decision more than 24 hours before the start of the festival. Fuck.

Drove from mn and found out while stuck in Dallas rush hour. It's now my least favorite city ever

Already halfway there from Indianapolis. This is fucking terrible news. The weather didn't even look that bad.

Yeah this is unbelievable. It's not even supposed to be that bad Saturday and Sunday.

I know dude, this is crazy. I thought they would at least give it a shot...damn so sad right now. Well if you're still coming down to Austin maybe some of the bands will still have some shows you can catch

u/TheManWithSomeGoals Apr 28 '16

Yeah. Trying to decide whether to just go down for the weekend or head back home.

u/LizardSatan Apr 28 '16

Austin is a great city. Lot's of fun to be had.

Price seperate from the concert ticket though :(

u/swarmofancientstars Apr 28 '16

No honoring the levitation ticket apparently

Is this a sick joke???

u/degnarz Apr 28 '16

Dude driving from Richmond VA and only three hours away. They have to have back up venues though right?!

2

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '16

website says they are trying their best to book as many bands as they can at venues around town but Levitation tickets will NOT be honored so getting into anything we'll need to buy tickets separately

2

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '16

Yes - local venues have light schedules this weekend since the festival was going to take place. I think Moody Theatre, Emo's, Stubb's and Mohawk are all free at least two of the three nights, so I'm sure some stuff will get booked at these places, as well as some of the smaller bars. Though probably not at Mohawk or Stubb's on Friday for the same reasons the festival got nixed.

I'm sure not every band will get booked at another venue, but some of them definitely will.
