Phish Forced To Cancel Curveball Festival At Last Minute08-20-2018
Phish were forced to cancel their Curveball Festival this past weekend at the Watkins Glen International Raceway in New York at the last minute due to flooding in the area. The band broke the bad news to fans with the following, "The four of us are writing this from directly behind the stage at Watkins Glen. We were about to walk onstage only moments ago for our traditional soundcheck jam for Curveball when we were told the heartbreaking news that due to the unsafe water conditions in the Village of Watkins Glen, our beloved festival is being canceled. "We are still in shock. The entire site is already set up and ready to go after literally months of work by our beloved hardworking crew, many of whom have been here for weeks. Our families are here, our gear is set, our tents are up. We keep waiting for someone to come over and tell us that there is a solution, and that the festival can go on. Unfortunately, it is not possible. "This summer has been absolutely joyous, with each gig building on the previous one, and we were all buzzing with excitement about Curveball. Please accept our deepest apologies for the disruption that this has caused all of you.. We wish there was something else we could say. "Thank you all from the depths of our souls for the joy that you continue to share with us every night. This has been the greatest summer we can remember. "Travel safe and know that we are as heartbroken as all of you. We are standing back here behind the stage, at our party that we've been planning for over a year, and we have just told that it won't happen. There's just nothing we can do. Thank you all for your understanding. With Love, Phish"
