Jun 28, 2017 The xx By Christopher Roberts

The Night + Day festival was supposed to take place in Reykjavik, Iceland July 14 - 16 with a lineup curated by The xx. Alas just weeks before it was supposed to take place it has been cancelled. As Stereogum reports, the Reykjavik Grapevine has posted a statement from the organizers explaining that there were fresh concerns about the environmental impact the festival would have on the site and that it was too late to move it to a new location. The event was set to feature sets from The xx and Jamie xx, as well as from Kamasi Washington, Warpaint, Earl Sweatshirt, Sampha, Jagwar Ma, Floating Points (DJ set), Robyn & Mr Tophat (DJ set), Giles Peterson, Marching Church, and more.

Here is the full statement from the organizers:

“We regret to announce that Night + Day Iceland will not be going ahead.

The location for the festival at Skógafoss has recently been added to the Environment Agency of Iceland’s list of endangered areas and there is simply not enough time for the promoters to ensure that the event will have no impact at all on the site. The promoters have been working non-stop to secure another location but regrettably there is nowhere suitable that can host the festival with such short notice. Full refunds including all booking fees will be issued to all ticket holders directly from the ticket agency with whom you purchased asap.

Please allow 5 working days for your refund.
