2010

2009 was also a year that marked an incredible drop in attendance and put the organizers in great debt. This was due in part to the cancelling of the Beastie Boys as the premiere headliner as well as overall poor economic conditions. Because of the cancellation, they sold about half of what they had intended to (even after lowering the ticket prices to half of what they were originally). In May 2010 an announcement was released indicating that there would be no 2010 festival.
