Yesterday (Oct. 23), the inaugural When We Were Young music festival that featured mid-2000s emo artists like My Chemical Romance and Paramore, canceled its Saturday performances last minute due to high winds. Variety reports that some attendees found out about the cancellation as late as 10:30 a.m. when doors were set to open only half an hour later.
The remaining dates of the festival on Sunday, Oct. 23, and Oct. 29 "are moving forward accordingly." Ticket holders who purchased tickets through the festival's ticketing service will receive a refund within 30 days, but the festival did not offer attendees the option to transfer their ticket to one of the other two dates.
