Country Thunder USA Officials announced today that they have been forced to cancel the Texas festival that was planned for May 29 through June 1. The decision was based on several factors; a depressed economy, low ticket sales, and the financial outcome of last year's event after catastrophic rainfall and the cancellation of 70% of the artists.
Officials stated that the upcoming Wisconsin event to be held this July 2008 is not affected by the Texas cancellation or the Arizona event for 2009.
Updates on the cancellation will be available at the customer service center 262-279-6960.
General Manager, Glenn Starnes, stated that the company thought they could pull off a recovery from last year’s disastrous weather cancellations, and with all the extenuating circumstances, it just didn’t happen. More answers will be available in the coming days.
