Summadayze To Be Cancelled
Last week news emerged the parent company of Future Music Festival, Future Entertainment, had entered liquidation a few days after joining forces with Mushroom Group. Although Future Music will go ahead in 2014 unaffected, the future of Summadayze will not be as kind according to Tone Deaf.
Mushroom Group owner Michael Gudinski recently predicted a rough forecast for the future of Summadayze.
“I’d heard there were difficulties after this year’s Summadayze but I didn’t really get a sense of the scale of it until we started due diligence, a couple of months ago…,” he said.
“We’ve got a massive job ahead with the Future Music Festival. We want to make it a much better experience for the people who are going. We’re looking long term.”
Future will go ahead- dates are already set for 2014 and an expansion of the Asian leg of the tour extended.
