Inaugural Afterlife Festival in Mexico City Canceled Due to “Technical and Licensing Issues”

The inaugural Afterlife Festival in Mexico City has been canceled by its organizers.

The news came arrives just over a month after the festival's announcement. Despite Afterlife's Anyma and MRAK missing the event in the Mexican capital, they will still be performing in Barcelona in June for the remaining leg of the Afterlife Festival.

Releasing a statement on social media, organizers cited "unforeseen technical and licensing issues" with the venue, Hipódromo De Las Americas, preventing the fest from taking place in May. It's worth noting that the statement stops short of mentioning another date and that the minds behind Afterlife Festival have "explored every possible solution," so a rescheduled date seems unlikely in the short term.

"We explored every possible solution, but the situation prevents us from delivering the experience you deserve," the statement reads.

Afterlife and Zamna said that ticket costs, including service fees, will be automatically refunded to the credit card from which they were purchased.
