Organizers Cancel 2018 Lost Lake Festival

Lost Lake Festival organizers Superfly made the decision to cancel the 2018 event. The festival that made its debut last year was slated to take place October 19 – 21 at Steele Indian School Park in Phoenix.

Imagine Dragons, Future, The Chainsmokers and SZA, as well as Janelle Monáe, Nas, Jimmy Eat World, Café Tacvba, Young Thug, Grizzly Bear, A$AP Ferg, Third Eye Blind, Louis The Child, Lil Dicky, T-Pain, Kamasi Washington and Chicano Batman were among the acts confirmed for the now-canceled three-day event.

A statement on the Lost Lake website reads in part:

We came to Phoenix because we were inspired by the amazing emerging arts, culture and food scene of the city, and wanted to capture this creative force with a festival as unique as the community. We’re honored by how everyone came together to help us produce a beautiful event last year and are deeply grateful for the support of the artists, fans and the City of Phoenix.

We are so thankful for the embrace we received from Phoenix, and want to share our gratitude by giving back to several non-profit organizations that are helping to further arts and education in the community. We are planning to distribute the $25,000 we raised at last year’s festival to local charities including, Arizona School for the Arts, Native American Connections, Phoenix Central High School, Phoenix Parks Foundation and Rosie’s House, match that number with direct funds from the Lost Lake partnership for a total contribution of $50,000.

Tickets, including all applicable fees, will automatically be refunded within seven to 10 business days. Head here to read the full statement from Superfly.
