Electric Zoo Cancels First Day of 2023 Festival Due to Supply Chain Disruptions
New York City’s popular EDM festival, Electric Zoo, has announced the cancellation of the first day of its 2023 edition. The news came just hours before the gates were set to open at 3 PM on September 1st. Organizers cited “supply chain disruptions” as the reason for the cancellation, specifically the inability to finish building the main stage in time. Fans were devastated by the unexpected announcement.
In a heartfelt message to the Electric Zoo community, the festival organizers expressed their deep regret for having to make this difficult decision. They acknowledged the unprecedented challenges faced by everyone this year and the global impact of supply chain disruptions. Unfortunately, these unforeseen delays prevented the completion of the main stage construction for Day 1.
The organizers recognize the significance of this day for festival-goers and understand the disappointment and frustration caused by the cancellation. They expressed their sincerest apologies for letting down the Electric Zoo family. To compensate for the cancellation, full refunds will be provided for those who held Friday tickets. Multiple-day ticket holders will receive credit for one of the days. Additionally, ferry and bus ticket holders for Friday will receive full refunds, while those with multiple-day transport tickets will receive a refund equivalent to one day.
Despite the setback, Electric Zoo remains committed to delivering a memorable experience for attendees. The festival’s Saturday and Sunday lineups promise to be truly magical, with festivities starting from 1 PM on both days. Participants can look forward to celebrating life and music in the heart of New York City, with the iconic backdrop of the city skyline. The organizers urge the Electric Zoo community to come together in strength and unity, creating moments that will be cherished forever.
The decision to cancel the first day of Electric Zoo was made with the utmost consideration for the safety and experience of attendees. The organizers did not want to compromise the quality and integrity of the event that festival-goers rightfully deserve. They sincerely ask for forgiveness and understanding during this challenging time and express profound apologies for any inconvenience and disappointment caused. The unwavering support of the Electric Zoo community has always been an integral part of the festival’s success, and the organizers promise to make the remaining days of the festival an unforgettable experience.
The first day of the 2023 Electric Zoo festival was set to feature an exciting lineup of artists, including Kx5 (Deadmau5 and Kaskade), Galantis, The Chainsmokers, Excision, Adventure Club, and many more. Fans were eagerly looking forward to this impressive roster of talent, and they were captivated by the electrifying performances that were anticipated. However, they will have to wait until Saturday and Sunday to experience the magic that Electric Zoo has in store.
As Electric Zoo continues to navigate these challenging circumstances, the festival-goers and the EDM community as a whole remain hopeful for an unforgettable experience in the days to come. Together, they will create memories that will last a lifetime, surrounded by the pulsating beats and vibrant energy that define Electric Zoo.
