Roxodus Music Fest promised to re-create in Canada a great (or possibly notorious) tradition similar to the aging hippie-fest in the UK at Glastonbury. This was to be the first-ever Roxodus. The organizer, MF Live Inc., promised appearances by Aerosmith, Kid Rock, Alice Cooper, Lynyrd Skynyrd snd many other bands on stage at the Edenvale Airport grounds in Stayner just south of Collingwood from July 11 to 14. But Wednesday the festival released this plaintiff note cancelling everything because of wet conditions. Fans are outraged at the loss of the music and the vague information on refunds. Many fans have spent big money to travel to Toronto for the concert. Barrie Today (link below) says it has heard but cannot confirm that Huronia West OPP are investigating the cancellation.
To our Roxodus Family,
During the past couple of months, our venue at Edenvale Airport has battled tremendous rainy weather that has impacted our ability to produce the festival. It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the Roxodus Music Festival this year. Our team has worked tirelessly to find a solution in which the show can go on but unfortunately, we could not make it happen this year. Our dream of producing a ‘once in a lifetime experience’ has been put on hold as we take the much-needed time to nurture our venue into a premier landmark in Ontario. We sincerely thank all of the artists, sponsors, partners, and neighbors who have supported us from the very beginning. The embrace from our community has meant the world to us and we hope to one day see our dream come to life. Information about ticket refunds will be released shortly.
Sincerely, The Roxodus Team
