Governors Ball Petitions To Block Coachella NY!!!

Coachella wants to expand to the east coast with Panorama Music Festival, but Governors Ball Petitions To Block Coachella NY.

For the last five years, Governors Ball has proven that a music festival can succeed in New York City, but that doesn’t mean there is room for another festival. Apparently AEG has been paying close attention to the success of the Governors Ball so they want to add a new festival called Panorama Music Festival, a new three-day event to take place at Queens’ Flushing Meadows Corona Park two weeks after Governors Ball, in June 2016.

CelebNMusic247.com has learned via COS that Governors Ball organizers are understandably upset over the Panorama Music Festival trying to muscle in on their territory.

We agree in a way since there are so many festivals that are extremely costly for festival goers. We understand why the Governors Ball are wanting to block the prospects of a second NYC mega festival occurring within such proximity of their own. Today, they launched a petition asking to reject AEG’s proposal.

The petition reads:

“The timing of this proposed event is an aggressive, greedy attempt by AEG to push a small independent company of born and bred New Yorker’s out of business and out of the market.”

“We are writing you today to ask for your support and tell the Mayor’s Office and the City of New York to reject this proposed event that would take place two weeks after Gov Ball. We are asking that this proposed event take place at another time of year because this would allow both events to succeed. Please help Gov Ball survive and continue to serve you – the fans, friends, and family – for many years to come!”

As of last week, AEG has yet to obtain land permits for Flushing Meadows Corona Park, CelebNMusic247.com has learned.

Even though the Panorama Music Festival has no permit they are optimistic so AEG has already begun booking acts for the festival.

What do you think?

Would this make you wait until who is headlining each festival before you buy tickets now?
