Canceled: Louder Than Life

We have just been informed by the organizers of Louder Than Life that due to the condition of Champions Park, this year's festival has been canceled.
Festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents sent a press release moments ago that announced "due to the continuing rain and deterioration of conditions at Champions Park, this weekend’s Louder Than Life festival in Louisville has been canceled."
 “Delivering a great experience for our fans will always be our top priority – but that great experience starts with safety,” said Danny Hayes, CEO of Danny Wimmer Presents.
