Bonanza Campout has announced that the 2019 edition of the music festival has been canceled. The three-night camping and music event in Heber City, Utah, was scheduled for June 21 through 23 with headliners DJ Snake, Empire of the Sun and G-Eazy, plus additional artists like GRiZ, Machine Gun Kelly, Big Wild, Chromeo, Bishop Briggs and more.
Per a statement on the festival’s website, the event was canceled “due to being denied the necessary licensing and permits.” from Wasatch County and the Utah DABC (Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control).” It explained:
Our team is committed to providing top-tier fan experiences and works year-round to curate and produce a world-class festival environment. After reviewing all alternative options, we have come to the conclusion that there is no possible way to relocate the festival and still provide both artists and attendees with the same level of production and fan experience that Bonanza Campout has become known for.
We are truly grateful for all of the support we’ve seen over the years from our fans and are committed to honoring the community that has bolstered the development of Bonanza Campout and helped to create something truly unique to Utah. We understand that without you, none of this would be possible.
Festival organizers also noted that all ticket and lodging purchases are currently in the process of being refunded to cardholders. The statement also noted that the festival hopes to move forward with a 2020 installment of the event, and that they will continue to issue news and more information as it becomes available.
