CANCELLED: NO "ROCK THE BELLS" For Washington D.C. OR NYC (UPDATE)

The streets are buzzing ROCK THE BELLS 2013 has been cancelled in Washington, D.C and NYC.  Get the deets inside…   

According to Ticketmaster (shown above), the streets and Twitterverse, fans in Washington, D.C. will not be "rocking the bells" with Kid Cudi, J Cole, A$AP Mob or Wu-Tang Clan at RFK Stadium this weekend.  Sources say the annual concert was reportedly cancelled due to poor ticket sales.

Although Chinyere Hubbard, the vice president for communications and marketing of Events DC, RFK’s operator has confirmed the cancellation, we’re still waiting on an official statement from Guerrilla Union (the promoters of Rock The Bells).

Also, speculation looms over the New York dates (Oct 4-5th) but we find it hard to believe that promoters can’t sell tickets in New York.

We send our regrets to anyone in the DMV area who had their mind set on seeing Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s hologram.

(UPDATE)

Via their website, the organizers oof RTB 2013 have released an official statement about the cancellation of RTB in Washington, DC and New York.

Festival organizers, Guerilla Union, announced today that the upcoming Rock the Bells Festival tour-stops in Washington, DC and New York City are now cancelled due to a lack of ticket sales. The festival was slated to take place in Washington, DC this weekend (September 28 and 29) and New York City the following weekend (October 4 and 5).

Chang Weisberg, founder and owner of Guerilla Union states: “First and foremost, it is with great sadness and disappointment that we must cancel the Washington, DC and New York City Rock the Bells dates due to lack of ticket sales. I, along with our staff, the artists, and all of the sponsors, media partners, local promoters, and radio stations involved are thankful for our supporters and the fans that planned on attending. It’s extremely unfortunate that we can’t complete the last half of the 10th Anniversary Rock the Bells tour. We did everything in our power to save the show. Unfortunately, the financial loss would have been devastating. This festival has been ten years in the making. I am truly sorry we could not produce the show for all the fans who did buy their ticket in support of.”

Full refunds will be honored at the location where fans purchased their tickets.
