The co-producers of the annual Vegoose Music Festival confirmed today that the two-day show will not go on this year, as reported in the Las Vegas Sun on Tuesday.
Speaking on behalf of event production partners Superfly Productions and A.C. Entertainment, Ken Weinstein said the event will not take place in Las Vegas in 2008. He provided a prepared statement from the producers:"We've had a great time in Las Vegas, and we're still excited about Vegoose and its future. We think it's a great event and the response of the fans has been extremely positive. As with any of our events, we're always looking for ways to improve the overall fan experience. One suggestion for Vegoose has been to consider moving it to another time of year. We're thinking about that, but no firm decisions have been made at this time."
The Halloween weekend event would have been the fourth year for the festival.
Um, don't really see where Mr. Weinstein confirms it's not going to happen in the above comment. He says it's a great event and they are always looking for ways to improve it.
All he does commit to is that there have been no firm decisions. So basically you have the promoters saying no decision has been made and the LV Events folks saying that it won't be at Sam Boyd.
I would agree that it doesn't look good at this point that it will return, but to say it is gone on the info you have printed is a bit premature.
Thanks, horse:
I rewrote the post to clarify that the Vegoose cancellation was confirmed by Weinstein, and that the prepared statement provided was a standard press handout.

Just received an e-mail from Vegoose spokesman Ken Weinstein:
"You can write this as stated by festival organizers: It is confirmed that it is unlikely that Vegoose will happen in 2008."
