Bad economy sinks 2009's Langerado Music Festival

Florida's Langerado Music Festival --which was to feature Death Cab For Cutie, Snoop Dogg, Ryan Adams and the Cardinals, Thievery Corporation and Dashboard Confessional, among many others--has been canceled due to slow ticket sales, organizers announced today (2/3).

The seventh annual festival had been scheduled to take place March 6-8 at Miami's Bicentennial Park.

"Langerado has always put the fan experience first," co-promoter Ethan Schwartz said in a statement. "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."

According to a press release, refunds will be processed in the next 5-7 days. For more information, visit musictoday.com, the company that handled ticket sales for the event.
