Pass holders will be refunded, and will be contacted directly via their point of purchase.As an independent festival, an increasing rarity in today’s festival market, Desert Daze is run by a small team of people who love live music and this community. Unfortunately, due to rising production costs and the current volatile festival market, it is no longer possible to execute the weekend as planned.With each year, we do our best to serve the Desert Daze community. We are always learning and working diligently to improve the experience, and we tried everything to find a way forward.From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your support. Desert Daze is more than a festival or business venture to us. The community that we’ve cultivated together means so much to us and is the reason we will continue to work to find a way to keep this beautiful thing going for many years to come. While we hit pause for now, we will be working in the background to deliver another special experience for all of us to share in the future.READ MORE: 11 Rock + Metal Festivals Announced This Past WeekWhile the festival itself will not take place, Billboard reports that side shows under the Desert Daze Presents banner will go forward as scheduled.2024 Rock + Metal Festival + Cruise GuideHere’s your chance to see a lot of bands!Gallery Credit: Chad Childers, Loudwire
