The second day of the inaugural South Star Music Festival has been canceled.
Today’s lineup was to have featured blink-182, Beck, Sublime and other acts.
Opening day performers Saturday at South Star included Gwen Stefani, Shinedown, TLC, Tom Morello, Ludacris and more.
Sunday’s cancelation was announced on the festival’s website at around 9 a.m.
Complete statement from the website below:
“For South Star fans who joined us yesterday, we thank you for welcoming us and enjoying some amazing music. Unfortunately, as you know, Hurricane Helene saturated John Hunt Park before you arrived, and Saturday’s foot traffic has led to severe deterioration of the grounds. Following an inspection by festival organizers along with city officials, it has been determined that the grounds are no longer safe to welcome you back today.
“In coordination with the City of Huntsville, we have made the difficult decision to cancel today’s festival. Safety is paramount, and we do not take this decision lightly. We have been looking forward to a full-weekend celebration in John Hunt Park as much as you have. We appreciate your understanding and patience. We are incredibly grateful to the City of Huntsville for their partnership and the music fans who planned to join us. We will be back soon! Sunday 1-Day Tickets and one half of 2-Day Tickets purchased directly through Front Gate Tickets will automatically be refunded in as little as 30 days to your original form of payment.”
