The xx‘s Night + Day festival in Iceland has unfortunately been pulled after the venue, Skogafoss waterfall, was added to a list of endangered areas.
The three-day event was due to take place at Skogafoss waterfall from July 14th through 16th, with the London trio joined by performances from Sampha, Floating Points, Jagwar Ma, Earl Sweatshirt, Robyn, Call Super, Avalon Emerson and more.
In a statement posted to Facebook, The Warehouse Project, who were one of the promoter’s behind the event, said “the challenges on this site were insurmountable and it was not possible to secure another suitable venue in time.”
Ticket goers will receive full refunds.
Read the full statement below.
“We regret to announce that Night + Day Iceland will not be going ahead.
The location for the festival at Skógafoss has recently been added to the Environment Agency of Iceland’s list of endangered areas and there is simply not enough time for the promoters to ensure that the event will have no impact at all on the site. The promoters have been working non-stop to secure another location but regrettably there is nowhere suitable that can host the festival with such short notice. Full refunds including all booking fees will be issued to all ticket holders directly from the ticket agency with whom you purchased asap.
Please allow 5 working days for your refund.
