According to the Denver Post, a three day permit was denied to Riot Fest for the festivals three days in Byers, Colorado, though the festival organizers claim the show will still happen. They will now have to find an alternative location.
The festival has made the following statement on their Facebook page:
Due to circumstances beyond our control and despite lots of support for Riot Fest & Sideshow in Byers, May Farms is no longer available to host Riot Fest. A nearby alternate location will be announced early next week. We know this sucks, we’re as disappointed as you are, but if you could be a little patient with us, we’ll have more information ASAP. All tickets will be honored at the new location. Riot Fest in Denver is NOT cancelled, the show will go on, and rock n roll never dies.
