Moondance Jam Drops All National Acts
Ok so this is shocking. Moondance Jam - a massive summer rock festival in Walker, MN - has announced a restructuring for this year's event. Instead of national acts, Moondance will feature only regional bands.
The festival will take place July 18-20, so it is coming up quick.
The reason for the massive change is money. According to the statement (below) the "current economic climate" meant that the organizers couldn't reach the required financial thresholds to put on an event with a national acts. Refunds are being offered.
Bands are starting to post their own announcements about the cancellation. See Creed below as one example.
