According to one post by Simplified, the Music Frenzy Festival scheduled for Saturday, April 18, at Dixies Tavern has been cancelled:
"If you haven't already heard THE PROMOTERS of THE MUSIC FRENZY FESTIVAL had to cancel/postpone the event Saturday due to business issues with the owners of the parking lot that the festival was being held at. We appreciate all of our fans that were planning on coming out to support us at the festival. Please spread the word that this entire event will not be taking place to anyone you know that was planning on attending! We look forward to seeing you soon!"
If you go to the official Web site, it says the "event has moved," but no location is given.
Stay tuned...
