Migration Fest III rescheduled for October 15th-17th, 2021

It’s clear that the world is changing and all of us are forced into changing along with it. The future is uncertain, but we do know that it is unsafe to attempt to produce a music festival within the 2020 calendar year.

So here’s the news you all already knew was coming: Migration Fest III will be postponed until October 15th-17th, 2021.

It’s the same story you’re used to hearing at this point, all tickets will be honored and we will preserve as much of the lineup as possible. Considering all the bands are our pals it shouldn’t be too difficult, and many artists have already confirmed the new dates.

We’ve been seeing your social media posts discussing the fate of the Fest, and rest assured we’ve discussed it daily for over a month. Rescheduling an event that affects thousands of people is no small task and must be done with care and attention. Now, three and a half months out from the originally scheduled date, we feel it is well within a reasonable time frame to have a new plan in place and announce our intent to reschedule.

As two immunocompromised individuals we are willing to take zero chances with the health and safety of the bands, attendees, or ourselves during our event.

We will not be dispensing refunds automatically, but if you need a refund for your ticket we will provide one.

Thanks for your support and understanding. Email your ticket refund request to migrationfest2016@gmail.com.

Life is wild.

Sincerely,
Dave Adelson & Adam Bartlett, Migration Fest founders
